Pesticide Exposure Estimation across Census Tracts in Washington State: Identifying Vulnerable Areas and Populations.
Article in Environmental health perspectives, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionDisparities in exposure to and harm associated with pesticides are established. However, high resolution spatial data on exposure to pesticides are lacking. PURPOSE: To describe the development of a pesticide metric for Washington State and to evaluate the associations between pesticide exposure and sociodemographic characteristics of census tracts.
methodsWe used the US cropland data set to quantify the location and size of agricultural land. These data were overlaid with state- and county-level estimated annual agricultural pesticide use to estimate pesticide exposure at the census tract level. Sociodemographic characteristics of census tracts were from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Social Vulnerability Index (SVI). Generalized additive models evaluated the associations between pesticide exposure and each of the SVI variables.
resultsThe median exposure to pesticides was 1.5 lbs/sq mi. Significant associations were observed between exposure to pesticides and a higher percentage of population below poverty, populations unemployed, populations 65 and older, non-Hispanic white populations, those with limited English language proficiency, mobile homes, and group quarters.
conclusionsThe results inform public health and policy efforts to identify areas and populations that are most vulnerable to pesticide exposure and improve the health and well-being of farmworkers and populations residing near agricultural areas.
