Polymer nanoparticles pass the plant interface.
Article in Nature communications, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 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
As agriculture strives to feed an ever-increasing number of people, it must also adapt to increasing exposure to minute plastic particles. To learn about the accumulation of nanoplastics by plants, we prepared well-defined block copolymer nanoparticles by aqueous dispersion polymerisation. A fluorophore was incorporated via hydrazone formation and uptake into roots and protoplasts of Arabidopsis thaliana was investigated using confocal microscopy. Here we show that uptake is inversely proportional to nanoparticle size. Positively charged particles accumulate around root surfaces and are not taken up by roots or protoplasts, whereas negatively charged nanoparticles accumulate slowly and become prominent over time in the xylem of intact roots. Neutral nanoparticles penetrate rapidly into intact cells at the surfaces of plant roots and into protoplasts, but xylem loading is lower than for negative nanoparticles. These behaviours differ from those of animal cells and our results show that despite the protection of rigid cell walls, plants are accessible to nanoplastics in soil and water.
