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

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are endocrine disruptors with unambiguous neurotoxic effects. However, due to variability in experimental models, population characteristics, and molecular endpoints, the elucidation of mechanisms underlying PFAS-induced neurotoxicity remains incomplete. In this review, we utilized the adverse outcome pathway (AOP) framework, a comprehensive tool for evaluating toxicity across multiple biological levels (molecular, cellular, tissue and organ, individual, and population), to elucidate the mechanisms of neurotoxicity induced by PFAS. Based on 271 studies, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation emerged as the molecular initiating event 1 (MIE1). Subsequent key events (KEs) at the cellular level include oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, apoptosis, altered Ca
