Environmental pollutants associated with blood glucose levels in healthy individuals.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. 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
The occurrence of diabetes is closely linked to environmental pollution. In the pre-diabetic stage, the human body is actually already exposed to the environment. Exploring the correlation between environmental exposure substances and blood glucose levels in individuals with normal blood glucose is of great and positive practical significance for the effective prevention and precise control of diabetes. This study meticulously collected detailed information from 307 individuals in northern China, and sampled the serum of the participants for analysis using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) technology. A total of 203 environmental exposure substances were detected. Results: Through in-depth exposome research, it was found that environmental exposure substances such as α-hexabromocyclododecane (α-HBCD), 4-methylbenzylidene camphor (4-MBC), and (1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-dione) benzil showed a significant positive correlation with the increase in blood glucose levels. In contrast, substances such as isopropylphenyl diphenyl disulfide (IPPD), tris(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TDCIPP), and dibenzothiophene sulfone (PES) were negatively correlated with blood glucose elevation. Both the Weighted Quantile Sum (WQS) analysis and the Bayesian Kernel Machine Regression (BKMR) analysis showed that there was a positive correlation between the overall effect of environmental exposure substances and blood glucose elevation (95% confidence interval = 1.141-1.721; P < 0.001). Environmental pollutants are important risk factors for the increase in blood glucose levels in healthy individuals. Moreover, these pollutants may interact with and affect each other, leading to a further rise in blood glucose levels.
