Figure 5.

Figure 5 is a tabular representation of a heat map, with six columns, namely, Number of studies (1 to 10), reciprocal social communicative behaviors; repetitive and stereotyped behaviors; comorbid behaviors; mechanistic outcomes; and grand total. The first column has a row reading grand total followed by the following six conditions that the study is based on: pesticides, metals, industrial chemicals and byproducts, plastics and plastic additives, preservatives, and air pollutants. The last column mentions the grand total of the effects of all the conditions as 46.

Heat map of included rodent studies by exposure (in rows) and types of rodent outcomes (in columns). Numbers within cells indicate the number of studies for a given exposure and outcome. Empty cells indicate a lack of studies. An interactive version of this figure is available at https://public.tableau.com/profile/the.endocrine.disruption.exchange#!/vizhome/SupplementalFigure2_Environmentalchemicalsandautism-rodentdata/Interactive. For clarity, the different outcomes have been collapsed to the four types of outcomes that were captured in this report. Additional study information can be found in the interactive Figure S2 and in Excel Table S4.
