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

Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a commonly used plasticizer that has raised significant concerns due to its strong endocrine-disrupting effects, which are closely associated with developmental toxicity. While previous reviews have explored DEHP's developmental toxicity, this study uniquely focuses on recent (past 10 years) advances in understanding the molecular mechanisms behind DEHP-induced organ developmental disorders. It emphasizes key pathways involved in cellular proliferation, differentiation, and endocrine balance. Despite widespread human exposure to DEHP, translating preclinical findings to human health outcomes remains challenging due to variations in exposure levels, individual susceptibility, and limited clinical data. This review compiles the latest clinical research on DEHP-related developmental health risks, explicitly addressing these uncertainties and exposure-related factors. By combining new molecular insights with clinical relevance, this review offers a focused scientific basis for future research into DEHP's developmental toxicology, bridging the gap between preclinical mechanisms and real-world human exposure outcomes.
