An Assessment of Multipollutant Exposures Using Silicone Wristbands Among Bangladeshi Youth.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Residents of Bangladesh are exposed to numerous chemicals due to local industries, including dyeing mills, cotton mills, and the use of biomass in daily cooking. It is, therefore, important to characterize the exposome and work to identify risk factors of exposure. We used silicone wristband passive samplers to evaluate exposure to volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds in a sample of 40 children in the Araihazar upazila of Bangladesh. We used stepwise linear regression models to determine which demographic, exposure, diet, and socioeconomic factors best predict exposure to single chemicals and classes of chemicals. Male sex at birth was associated with a decrease in the number of chemicals detected above their median concentration (β = -2.42; 95%CI: -5.24, 0.399), as was ownership of a flush toilet (β = -3.26; 95%CI: -6.61, 0.097). Increased body mass index (β = 1.81; 95%CI: 0.587, 3.03), father's smoking (β = 2.74; 95%CI: -0.0113, 5.49), and father's employment in the garment industry (β = 3.14; 95%CI: 0.209, 6.07) were each associated with an increase in the average number of chemicals detected above their median concentration. The observed results motivate future evaluation with health outcomes of these exposures.
