Paternal and maternal preconception and maternal pregnancy urinary concentrations of parabens in relation to child behavior.
Article in Andrology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundEpidemiologic studies of the effects of parental preconception paraben exposures on child behavior are limited despite emerging evidence suggesting that such exposures may affect offspring neurodevelopment.
objectiveWe investigated whether maternal and paternal preconception and maternal pregnancy urinary concentrations of parabens were associated with child behavior.
methodsWe analyzed data from the Preconception Environmental exposure And Childhood health Effects Study, an ongoing prospective cohort of children aged 6-13 years and their parents. We estimated covariate-adjusted associations of log
resultsThis analysis included 140 mothers, 81 fathers, and 171 children (25 sets of twins); parents were predominantly non-Hispanic white (88% for both mothers and fathers). In single paraben models, higher paternal preconception urinary propyl and methyl paraben concentrations were associated with higher Internalizing Problem T-scores (propyl paraben
conclusionIn this cohort, paternal preconception urinary concentrations of propyl and methyl paraben were associated with worse parent-reported child behaviors.
