Prenatal exposure to vanadium and lead and its impact on the risk of congenital heart defects in neonates: evidence from the Lanzhou Birth Cohort.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Using data from the Lanzhou Birth Cohort in China, this study examined the associations between prenatal exposure to vanadium (V) and lead (Pb)-both individually and jointly-and the risk of neonatal congenital heart defects (CHDs). Methods: This birth cohort study, conducted in Lanzhou, China, included 97 mother-newborn pairs assigned to the case group and 194 pairs serving as controls (1:2 ratio). Maternal blood concentrations of V and Pb were quantified using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Multivariate logistic regression was used to assess associations between prenatal V and Pb exposure levels and the risk of neonatal CHDs and specific subtypes. Interaction effects were further assessed using both additive and multiplicative models. Results: Maternal blood V concentrations were positively correlated with Pb levels. Higher maternal blood V levels were significantly associated with an increased risk of CHDs in offspring ( Conclusions: Maternal whole blood levels of V and Pb in late pregnancy, whether considered individually or jointly, were significantly associated with an increased risk of CHDs in the offspring.
