Prenatal Bisphenol A Exposure and Sex-Differentiated Childhood BMI Over Time: A Longitudinal Korean Cohort Study.
Article in Pediatric obesity, 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
backgroundPrenatal exposure to bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine-disrupting chemical, may influence childhood obesity. Evidence on sex-specific effects remains inconsistent.
methodsWe analysed 528 mother-child pairs from a Korean birth cohort. Maternal urinary BPA concentrations were measured during mid-pregnancy. Children's BMI and BMI Z-score were assessed at ages 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 years. Associations were estimated using linear and mixed-effects models, stratified by sex and adjusted for maternal and child covariates.
resultsThe mean maternal BPA concentration was 2.3 μg/g creatinine. BPA exposure was positively associated with BMI and BMI Z-score in boys but negatively associated in girls. At age 10, this divergence was most apparent. Mixed-effects models showed a 0.13 kg/m
conclusionsPrenatal BPA exposure exhibited sexually dimorphic associations with BMI from early childhood to age 10. These findings underscore the importance of considering sex-specific effects in environmental health research and support policies to reduce BPA exposure during pregnancy.
