Sexually dimorphic effects of in-utero exposure to a real-life environmental chemical mixture on markers of cardiovascular function in adult sheep.

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
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major sexually dimorphic cause of mortality and morbidity. Prenatal exposure to environmental chemicals (ECs) can program the adult onset of CVD. Using a real-life EC exposure sheep model, this study investigated structural and molecular underpinnings of the sex-specific effects of prenatal EC mixture exposure via mothers grazing on biosolids treated pasture (BTP) in left ventricular (LV) tissues. EC mixture exposure had no impact on plasma TG and TC levels, LV cardiomyocyte number or collagen scoring in both sexes. However, a significant increase (P < 0.05) in fibrosis was evident in interstitial, perivascular and replacement fibrosis in BTP males. A significant upregulation of inflammatory (MHC-DRB1, MHC-DYA), apoptosis (CASP3) markers, together with elevated IGF-1 and IGF1-R expression was restricted to EC exposed males only. These findings extend our earlier results on sex-specific differences in prenatal EC exposure programming of adult CV functioning, particularly in males.
