The environmental chemical exposome and health insurance: Examining associations and effect modification of epigenetic aging in a representative sample of United States adults.
Article in Exposome, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Environmental exposures are contributors to morbidity and mortality, yet the potential protective role of health insurance in mitigating these effects remains underexplored. We used data from the 1999-2000 and 2001-2002 cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to examine whether health insurance status is associated with the chemical exposome and whether being insured modifies relationships of environmental exposures with epigenetic aging biomarkers of morbidity and mortality (GrimAge2 and DunedinPoAm). Among 2315 adults aged 50 - 84 years, we evaluated 64 chemical exposures. In covariate, socioeconomic status-adjusted models, being insured compared to being uninsured was marginally associated with 0.21-SD lower blood lead levels (95% CI: -0.39, -0.04,
