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

The Toxicant Exposures and Responses by Genomic and Epigenomic Regulators of Transcription (TaRGET) program is a multiphase program that aims to understand how environmental factors contribute to disease susceptibility using toxicant-exposed mouse models. Here, we present the TaRGET II Data Portal ( https://data.targetepigenomics.org/ ), a comprehensive repository of multi-omics datasets generated from mice exposed to a range of environmental toxicants, including arsenic (As), lead (Pb), bisphenol A (BPA), tributyltin (TBT), di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), and ambient air pollution (PM2.5). Epigenomic profiling assays capturing alterations in chromatin accessibility, DNA methylation, gene expression, and histone modifications were produced across multiple research centers, subjected to rigorous quality control, and processed using standardized pipelines. The portal currently hosts 3,612 datasets spanning multiple tissues and genomic assays, collected at four developmental and exposure time points: 3, 5, 20, and 40 weeks. The portal offers an efficient way to browse, search, visualize, and download relevant datasets and associated metadata, serving as a key resource for studying the impact of environmental toxicant exposures on disease susceptibility for the broader scientific community.
