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

Bisphenols, particularly bisphenol A (BPA), are among the most thoroughly investigated endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). BPA was the first synthetic estrogen to be identified, exerting its estrogenic effects through interaction with human estrogen receptors (ERs). The aim of the present narrative review is to summarize the most recent literature regarding the adverse effects of bisphenols on female fertility and pregnancy outcomes. A review of the literature in the PubMed/Medline and Scopus databases was conducted in November 2024 and 15 studies were included in the present review. BPA levels were higher in women with diminished ovarian reserve, polycystic ovary syndrome, and recurrent miscarriages. Furthermore, one study showed a significant association between BPA levels and the onset of gestational diabetes mellitus. Higher levels of BPA are associated with disruptions to the female reproductive system, such as ovarian function, reduced number of antral follicles, and lower anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels. Bisphenols A and S were associated with an increased risk of developing gestational diabetes mellitus. Bisphenols A and F were correlated with an increased risk of lower birth weight and bisphenol F seemed to be associated with an increased risk of preterm delivery. Ultimately, further research is necessary to fully understand the extent of the harmful effects that bisphenols have separately and as mixtures on the female reproductive system.
