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

This study aims to assess cord blood levels among pregnant women in Lebanon as part of the EELI study. Seventy-five umbilical cord blood samples collected from 2021 to 2022 were analyzed for lead content. Bivariate and multivariate tests were conducted to explore associations and identify predictors of elevated lead levels. The median lead concentration in cord blood was 0.545 μg/dL (range: 0.238 - 5.44 μg/dL). Higher maternal pre-pregnancy BMI and active smoking during pregnancy were associated with elevated lead levels (OR = 2.94,
