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

objectiveEstimate breast cancer risk associated with residential industrial air pollutant exposure.

methodsWe analyzed 53,313 women in the California Multiethnic Cohort (1993-1996) for associations between 15 industrial pollutants and breast cancer incidence. Using Environmental Protection Agency Toxic Release Inventory data, sites were linked to geocoded residential histories via quadratic decay models to estimate 5-year lagged exposures. Cox models calculated risk per interquartile range increase, stratified by race/ethnicity and hormone receptor status.

resultsIncreased risk was associated with dichloromethane (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.17, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.05-1.29), tetrachloroethylene (HR = 1.53, CI: 1.39-1.69), 1,1,1-trichloroethane (HR = 1.77, CI: 1.65-1.91), diethanolamine (HR = 1.06, CI: 0.98-1.15), lead (HR = 1.02, CI: 1.00-1.03), and methyl ethyl ketone (HR = 1.27, CI: 1.15-1.41). Formaldehyde was associated only with hormone receptor-negative tumors (HR = 1.44, CI: 1.15-1.73).

conclusionsResidential exposure to certain industrial pollutants may increase breast cancer risk.
