Risk perception of personal care products: A scoping review of knowledge translation strategies in environmental health.
Review in Journal of public health research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: Personal care products (PCPs), including cosmetics and skincare products, have seen increased usage over the past two decades. Increasing evidence suggests that certain ingredients in PCPs pose health and environmental risks. For instance, parabens, commonly used as preservatives, are associated with increased cancer risks and reproductive toxicity among women. Despite the availability of safer alternatives, many lack the knowledge to identify harmful substances in PCPs and to seek out alternatives. Knowledge translation (KT) tools offer a solution to bridge this gap by simplifying complex information to improve risk perception. This review aimed to identify effective elements of mobile applications as KT tools focused on environmental health, to increase risk perception and promote behavior change. Methods: A comprehensive scoping review was conducted by searching various databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, Ovid Medline, and CINAHL, yielding 1092 articles. An additional 240 sources related to user-app reviews of 8 mobile apps were identified through a manual Google search. All sources underwent title and (if applicable) screening, followed by full-text review for eligibility. Results: The review included a total of 16 relevant articles, 7 websites, and 6 user app reviews. Key findings revealed 11 elements categorized into 4 main themes: toolkit accessibility and affordability, simplicity of presented information, personalization of features, and a clear focus on knowledge sharing. Conclusion: Using the elements identified in this research, future studies should focus on creating and evaluating environmental health toolkits to build capacity for effective knowledge translation that enhances environmental health awareness and health promotion.
