Dietary intake of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and the risk of obesity in the French E3N cohort.
Article in International journal of obesity (2005), 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
backgroundPolybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are persistent organic pollutants, with the primary exposure pathway for the general population being the consumption of contaminated food. Human exposure to PBDEs is suspected to increase the risk of obesity.
objectivesThis study aims to investigate the association between intake of PBDEs and the risk of obesity/overweight or weight gain in the French Etude Epidémiologique auprès des femmes de l'Education Nationale (E3N) cohort.
methodsThis study included 66 467 women with a mean age of 52.47 years over a 20-years follow-up. Cox proportional hazard regression models estimated hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the associations between PBDEs intake and risk of obesity, overweight and gain more than 10 kg.
resultsHigher PBDEs intakes were related to increased risk of overweight (HR (1-SD increment) = 1.07 (1.05-1.09), HR (Q4 vs. Q1) = 1.13 (1.07-1.19), P-trend <0.001) and weight gain (HR (1-SD increment) = 1.12 (1.09-1.14), HR (Q4vsQ1) = 1.28 (1.21-1.37), P-trend <0.001). A non-linear association (P-non-linearity = 0.0014, P-overall <0.001) between the intake of PBDEs and obesity risk (HR (Q4 vs. Q1) = 1.25 (1.15-1.37), P-trend <0.001) was identified. The associations remained consistent when adjusting in addition separately for total fat, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), n-3 PUFA, the main food sources of PBDEs intake as well as when running stratified analyses based on the follow-up duration.
conclusionsThis study identified a positive association between intake of PBDEs and the risk of overweight, obesity and weight gain. Further efforts are needed to reduce PBDEs contamination in food and lower exposure levels in the general population.
