Effect of Innovative Bio-Based Plastics on Early Growth of Higher Plants.
Article in Polymers, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Plastic particles are widespread in the environment including the terrestrial ecosystems. They may change the physicochemical properties of soil and subsequently affect plant growth. In recent decades, traditional, petroleum-derived plastics have been increasingly replaced by more environmentally friendly bio-based plastics. Due to the growing role of bio-based plastics it is necessary to thoroughly study their impact on the biotic part of ecosystems. This work aimed for the assessment of the effect of five innovative bio-based plastics of different chemical composition and application on the early growth of higher plants (sorghum, cress and mustard). Each bio-based plastic was tested individually. It was found that the early stages of growth of monocotyledonous plants were usually not affected by any of plastic materials studied. At the same time, the presence of some kinds of bio-based plastics contributed to the inhibition of root growth and stimulation of shoot growth of dicotyledonous plants. Two PLA-based plastics inhibited root growth of dicotyledonous plants more strongly than other plastic materials; however, the reduction of root length did not exceed 22% compared to the control runs. PBS-based plastic contributed to the stimulation of shoot growth of higher plants (sorghum, cress and mustard) at the concentrations from 0.02 to 0.095%
