Studies are plotted according to the name of chemicals and followed by the publication year in parentheses. Horizontal lines represent 95% CI, the arrows mean the values exceed the length of abscissa. Each square represents the OR point estimate and its size is proportional to the weight of the study. The diamond (unbroken line) represents the overall summary estimate with CI given by its width. The broken vertical line is at the null value (OR = 1). CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio.
