Molecular Mechanism of Action of Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals on the Respiratory System.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are a growing health hazard for humankind and respiratory health in particular. Such chemical compounds are present in the environment and food and may interfere with physiological processes through interference with functions of the endocrine system, making humans more susceptible to various types of diseases. This review aims to discuss the effects of EDCs on the respiratory system. Exposure to EDCs during fetal development and adulthood increases susceptibility to respiratory diseases such as asthma, COPD, and pulmonary fibrosis. EDCs are both multiple and complex in the ways they can act. Indeed, these chemicals may induce oxidative stress, modify cell proliferation and differentiation, interfere with tissue repair, and modulate the inflammatory response. Moreover, EDCs may also break the integrity of the blood-air barrier, allowing noxious substances to penetrate into the lung and thus enhancing the opportunity for infection. In conclusion, the scientific evidence available tends to indicate that EDCs exposure is strongly linked to the initiation of respiratory disease. Further research will be important in discovering the underlying molecular mechanisms and devising preventive and therapeutic measures.
