Lead exposure across early life in Latin America and the Caribbean: prevention strategies and reproductive health considerations.
Review in Frontiers in reproductive health, 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
Lead exposure remains a persistent public health problem, with direct implications for reproductive and child health. Toxic and bioaccumulative, the metal persists in the environment due to historical use in fuels, paints, and ceramics, as well as industrial and mining activities. The aim of this study was to synthesize recent evidence on lead exposure in children from Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), assessing outcomes related to human reproduction. A literature review was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines on the PubMed, Web of Science, and LILACS databases, covering the period from January 1, 2022, to January 30, 2026. The search was carried out on January 30, 2026, and only original articles in English, Portuguese, and Spanish were included. 165 studies were identified, of which 22 met the inclusion criteria. Four studies evaluated maternal exposure during pregnancy, while the remaining publications addressed exposures during childhood or in the general population. Some children participating in the included studies had blood lead levels exceeding the international reference value of 3.5 μg·dL
