Environmental Transgenerational Epigenetics: Effects on Fertility and Offspring Health.
Review in Advances in experimental medicine and biology, 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
The effects of environmentally induced epigenetic transgenerational inheritance on the fertility and health of organisms' offspring are reviewed. Previously, researchers have demonstrated a wide variety of environmental toxicants can promote an increase in disease and pathology in future generations through epigenetic transgenerational inheritance. These epigenetic alterations are transmitted through the germ line to future generations, influencing subsequent generations fertility and health. These epigenetic alterations provide a molecular mechanism for the decrease in fertility rates of subsequent generations and are associated with increases in disease. The increase in disease and pathology that humans are currently experiencing on a global scale appears to in part come from ancestral exposures and epigenetics. Although we may not be able to fix the problem, advancements in assisted reproduction and epigenetic disease biomarker tests to diagnose patients disease susceptibility will allow medical care providers to be more proactive in the preventative medicine treatment to reduce the frequency of disease-related ailments prior to the onset of the pathology.
