Silicone Ankle Bands as a Tool to Assess Infant Exposures to Semivolatile Organic Chemicals in Indoor Environments.
Article in Environmental science & technology letters, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Exposure to organophosphate esters (OPEs), used as flame retardants and plasticizers, is highly variable in the general population, and limited data exist on exposures in young children. This study evaluated the use of silicone ankle bands to assess OPE exposure in infants under 18 months of age. Infants (n = 21) wore silicone ankle bands for three consecutive days, and spot urine samples were collected using either pediatric urine collection bags or toddler training toilets. Ankle bands were analyzed for 20 OPEs; seven were detected in >70% of samples. TDCIPP and TPHP were the most abundant compounds on bands (medians = 57.5 and 53.0 ng/g, respectively). All targeted urinary metabolites were detected in most samples, with BDCIPP being the most abundant biomarker (median = 3.7 ng/mL SG-corrected), 2.5 times higher than DPHP. Significant positive correlations were observed between urinary metabolites and parent compounds on the ankle bands (r
