Associations of bisphenol and phthalate exposure and anti-Müllerian hormone levels in women of reproductive age.
Article in EClinicalMedicine, 2024. 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
Background: In women, exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals might accelerate the depletion of the ovarian reserve and might be associated with accelerative reproductive aging and fertility. We examined the longitudinal associations of exposure to bisphenols and phthalates with anti-Müllerian hormone concentrations. Methods: Pregnant women of 18 years or older that resided in Rotterdam between 2002 and 2006 were eligible for participation in this longitudinal prospective cohort study. We measured urinary bisphenol and phthalate concentration at three time-points in pregnancy among 1405 women, of whom 1322 women had serum Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) measurements 6 and/or 9 years postpartum. We performed linear regression models to assess the association of urinary bisphenol and phthalate metabolites with AMH after 6 and 9 years, and linear mixed-effect model to assess the association with AMH over time. Models were adjusted for sociodemographic and lifestyle factors. Findings: In our multivariable linear regression models we observed associations of higher urinary pregnancy-averaged mono-isobutyl phthalate (mIBP), mono-(2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl) phthalate (mEOHP), and monobenzyl phthalate (mBzBP) with lower serum AMH after both 6 and 9 years. However, these associations did not remain after adjustment for multiple testing. No significant associations of bisphenol A with AMH were present in our study sample. In our linear mixed-effects models, higher mIBP, mono-(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate (mEHHP), mEOHP, and mBzBP were associated with lower overall AMH levels (differences -0.07 (95% CI -0.13, -0.02), -0.09 (-0.15, -0.02), -0.08 (95% CI -0.14, -0.02), and -0.08 (-0.13, -0.03) μg/L per doubling in mIBP, mEHHP, mEOHP, and mBzBP respectively) (all False Discovery Rate adjusted p-values < 0.05). Interpretation: We identify decreases in indices of ovarian reserve in relationship to prenatal phthalate exposures. Studies are needed replicating our results among large multi-ethnic non-pregnant populations and assessing transgenerational effects of exposure on ovarian reserve.
