Phthalates: the interplay between diet, obesity, diabetes, and gut microbiota.
Review in Frontiers in toxicology, 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
Millions of tons of plastic are produced worldwide each year. Currently, it is almost impossible to avoid plastic and exposure to its effects. There are many chemical compounds that are used in its production. Some of them, classified as plasticizers, are phthalates, which are found in food packaging, toys, and many cosmetics. They give plastics durability, flexibility, and heat resistance. Humanity is exposed to these substances primarily through ingestion, i.e., processed food and its storage, and through inhalation of polluted air. Consequently, phthalates and their metabolites can be detected in the human body. Due to their ubiquity, they pose a global threat to human health. They contribute to overweight and obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, and disorders of the nervous and endocrine systems. The purpose of this article was to review existing research on the impact of phthalates on diet, the development of obesity, and diabetes.
