Maternal and Newborn Factors Associated with Meconium Metal Concentrations: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Toxics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Prenatal exposure to essential and toxic metals may influence fetal development and birth outcomes. Meconium represents a valuable biomarker of cumulative intrauterine exposure; however, data linking maternal lifestyle and diet to meconium metal concentrations remain limited. This study included 152 mother-newborn pairs at the University Hospital Center Split. Meconium samples were analyzed for essential metals (Mn, Zn, Fe, Cu) and toxic metals (Hg, Pb, Cd, Ni, Cr) using atomic absorption spectrometry. Maternal and newborn characteristics were collected via questionnaires and medical records. Associations between maternal factors and metal concentrations were assessed using multivariable regression, and inter-metal correlations were evaluated with Spearman's rank correlation. The correlation matrix indicates positive correlations among essential metals, particularly between Fe and Cu (r
