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

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants generated from incomplete combustion and are detectable in nearly all individuals in the U.S. population. Prenatal PAH exposure has been linked to adverse birth and child health outcomes, but few studies have examined associations between biomarkers of PAHs and inflammation during pregnancy across gestational windows. We investigated associations between urinary PAH metabolites and urinary inflammatory markers among 159 pregnant women enrolled in the placental assessment in response to environmental exposures cohort (2016-2019). Urine samples were collected up to three times during pregnancy (10-17, 18-29, and ⩾30 gestational weeks). Hydroxylated PAHs metabolites were quantified using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and inflammatory markers (IL-6, IL-1
