FTIR-Plastics: A Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy dataset for the six most prevalent industrial plastic polymers.
Article in Data in brief, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
This work introduces two datasets: FTIR-Plastics-C4 (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, in plastics, at a wavenumber spectral resolution of 4 cm⁻¹) and FTIR-Plastics-C8 (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, in plastics, at a wavenumber spectral resolution of 8 cm⁻¹), each comprising 3,000 spectra corresponding to the most used synthetic polymers worldwide. The main contribution of this work lies in the selection and FTIR characterization of the six polymers commonly used in everyday life and industry, namely Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE), Polypropylene (PP), and Polystyrene (PS). FTIR-Plastics-C4 consists of 3,000 spectra obtained with a configuration of 32 scans and a resolution of 4 cm⁻¹, covering a range from 4000 to 400 cm⁻¹. The FTIR-Plastics-C8 dataset also contains 3,000 spectra obtained with 32 scans and a resolution of 8 cm⁻¹ within the same range. A cleaning stage was applied to the FTIR-Plastics datasets, removing the header containing 19 lines and a footer with 34 lines from the original file. Additionally, a standardization process assigns 15 lines in the files to highlight information regarding the equipment used (based on the information provided by a Jasco spectrophotometer, model FT/IR-6700 PRO 4x, used for polymer characterization). The final dataset is in tabular .csv file format. The dataset is available on an open repository, and its application was designed to identify microplastics extracted from the environment and enable comparisons between commercial polymers.
