Prenatal exposure to environmental bisphenols over time and their association with childhood asthma, allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis in the ECHO consortium.

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
Concerns persist about the potential impact of prenatal exposure to bisphenols (BP) and their replacement analogues on childhood asthma and allergies. Previous studies on single and small cohorts had limited statistical power, few investigated analogues BPF and BPS, and even fewer examined atopic outcomes. Our objective was to assess whether prenatal exposures to individual environmental bisphenols (BPA, BPF, BPS) influence risk of childhood asthma, allergic rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis. Data from the U.S. Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) consortium were harmonized on measures of prenatal urinary BPA, BPF and BPS and asthma and allergic rhinitis (ages 5-9 years) and atopic dermatitis (up to age 3 years) from 1905 mother-child pairs that were collected between 1998 and 2017. Across the 2012 federal ban of BPA from certain infant products, median BPA levels decreased from 1.11 ng/ml to 0.86 ng/ml; median BPF levels decreased from 0.51 ng/ml to 0.39 ng/ml; and median BPS levels increased from 0.23 ng/ml to 0.31 ng/ml (dilution adjusted; p < 0.001 for all three median comparisons). Prenatal measures of BPA, BPF, and BPS were unrelated to the risk of childhood asthma, allergic rhinitis, or atopic dermatitis in the total population. Modest sex-dependent effects were observed: only among girls, second tertile levels of BPF was associated with a reduced odds of asthma (odds ratio (OR) 0.27, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.08, 0.93); a continuous index of prenatal BPS was associated with reduced odds of atopic dermatitis (OR 0.64, 95% CI 0.44, 0.93). The ongoing and changing patterns of exposure to bisphenols in the U.S. population require further study with additional attention to time windows of exposure and co-occurring social determinants of health, to continue to inform current policies and evaluate the importance of limiting exposure to BPA and its analogues on childhood asthma, allergic rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis.
