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

Bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine-disrupting compound widely used in plastics and resins and associated with metabolic, reproductive, and neurodevelopmental disorders. Infants and toddlers are particularly vulnerable because detoxification capacity is immature and exposure occurs during sensitive developmental stages. While BPA is banned in infant feeding bottles within the European Union, its use in pacifiers remains unregulated despite frequent "BPA-free" labeling. This study quantified BPA migration from seven commercially available pacifiers and assessed potential exposure relative to the newly revised European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) tolerable daily intake (TDI; 0.2 ng kg⁻
