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

Prenatal heat exposure may be linked to childhood behavioral difficulties, but the underlying endocrine mechanisms and moderating effects of air pollution remain poorly understood. This study examined potential interactions between prenatal heat and air pollution in relation to child behavior through alterations in progesterone levels. Data from a birth cohort (Stress in Pregnancy Study, 2009-2014) included 256 children with predominantly racial/ethnic minority backgrounds, recruited from two New York City prenatal clinics. Heat exposure was determined by trimester-specific exposure to summer months, with air pollution (NO
