Assessment of microplastics as contaminants in a coal mining region.
Article in Heliyon, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Pollution generated by microplastics (MPs) has become an issue of global concern because to its severe effects on the general health of the ecosystem, especially the health of the terrestrial environment. There is a scarcity of data based on MP contamination research in Bangladesh that is currently available, and no work on MP contamination has previously been done in an industrial region of Bangladesh. As a result, this research was undertaken with the aim of determining whether or not MP contamination is present in the industrial area of the Barapukuria region in Bangladesh. The method of sieving and density separation was used in the process of extracting MPs from a total of 12 soil samples that were collected from the industrial area of Barapukuria. A stereomicroscope was utilized to accomplish the visual identification of the MPs. The method of sieving and density separation was used in the process of extracting MPs from 12 soil samples that were gathered from the industrial area of Barapukuria. A stereomicroscope was utilized in order to accomplish the visual identification of the MPs. The concentration of MPs accounted for 1-15 items/100g (Mean: 6.75 ± 5.3) in the 12 sampled regions, mostly white in color and ranging in size from 0.5-1 mm. Fibers have been found to be the most prevalent among the detected MPs (films, fiber, foam, and fragments). 8-types of MPs (Mean: 0.32 ± 0.69) were detected in 5 rural farmland locations, 11 MPs (Mean: 1.1 ± 1.73) in 2 sub-urban farmland sites, 11 MPs (Mean: 2.2 ± 3.19) in 1 urban farmland site, 24 MPs (Mean: 2.4 ± 1.89) in 2 industrial locations, and 27 MPs (Mean: 2.7 ± 3.05) in 2 near metropolitan areas. Based on the land use land cover analysis, higher contamination of MPs have been detected in the industrial and coal mine region of Barapukuria whereas relatively lower amount of MPs have been found in the rural and urban regions.
