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

purposeThe present review aims to summarize and collect data in support of the obesogenic theory to broaden knowledge regarding the intriguing relationship between exposure to environmental chemical disruptors (EDCs), obesity and obesity related diseases.

methodsA comprehensive search of the literature from 1990 to 2024 was performed in Pubmed using the word endocrine disruptor chemicals or obesogens and: adipose tissue, metabolic diseases, weight gain, gut microbiota.

resultsIn the past, genetic factors, an unbalanced diet and a sedentary lifestyle were considered the only risk factors for obesity development. On the other hand, recent studies described the obesogenic theory, suggesting that an interaction between exposure to EDCs with obesogenic activity, especially during early life development, and the endocrine system can play a key role in the greater susceptibility to the onset of obesity, not even excluding the involvement of the gut microbiota and its alterations.

conclusionsData collected show that there is a close link between environmental exposure to EDCs during early life of development and the onset of obesity and related dysmetabolic diseases that may occur later in life.
