1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background/aim: Sensitivity to endocrine disruptors is higher in early life. Endocrine disruptor chemicals can be passed from pregnant women to their babies through the placenta or breast milk during lactation, leading to long-term and potentially permanent adverse effects. Materials and methods: This review evaluates the effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) on pregnancy by summarizing findings from experimental and observational studies. Exposure routes, reproductive outcomes, fetal development implications, and potential preventive strategies are analyzed. Results: Exposure to EDCs during pregnancy has been linked to various complications, including infertility, implantation defects, premature birth, spontaneous abortions, gestational hypertension, and gestational diabetes. Intrauterine exposure to these chemicals may lead to metabolic disorders, congenital anomalies, low birth weight, and delayed physical and mental development in offspring depending on the level and timing of exposure. Conclusion: Due to the significant impact of endocrine disruptors on maternal and fetal health, it is critical to implement protective measures to reduce exposure during pregnancy and lactation. Increased awareness and preventive strategies can help mitigate adverse effects.
