Understanding the Endocrine and Reproductive Health Effects Associated With Exposures to Jet Fuels: A Fit-for-Purpose Systematic Literature Review.
Synthesis in Journal of occupational and environmental medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveThe aim of the study was to assess the endocrine and reproductive health effects associated with jet fuels used by the US military.
methodsA systematic review of epidemiologic, animal toxicological, and mechanistic studies was conducted, synthesizing evidence on endocrine and reproductive outcomes following jet fuel exposure.
resultsEpidemiologic studies on endocrine and reproductive outcomes yielded indeterminate evidence, with no endocrine studies and inconsistent findings on menstrual abnormalities, sex hormone concentrations, and sperm parameters. Animal toxicological studies provided slight evidence for changes in endocrine organs, including observations of adrenal gland histopathology and weight alterations. Animal data provided slight evidence for reproductive health, with histopathological findings of mammary gland hyperplasia in females and testis atrophy in males.
conclusionsEvidence suggests that potential endocrine and reproductive toxicity may result from jet fuel exposure. Additional research is needed to better understand these relationships.
