Microplastic accumulation in water from protected areas in Western Forest Complex of Thailand.

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
Microplastics (MPs) are emerging as ubiquitous environmental pollutants worldwide. However, no research has been conducted in freshwater ecosystems within Thai protected areas (PAs), where biodiversity and natural resources are safeguarded for human well-being. The aim of this study was to explore the occurrence and abundance of potential MPs in the water of freshwater ecosystems in Thai PAs and to examine factors affecting their presence in the Western Forest Complex in Thailand (WEFCOM). Seventy water samples were collected from eight PAs in WEFCOM using a 20 μm plankton net. The water samples underwent digestion, density separation, and filtration. Potential MPs were visually identified under a stereomicroscope, and their chemical composition was further characterized using FTIR. The results revealed a 98.57 % potential MP prevalence in the water samples, with an average abundance of 0.30 ± 0.32 item·L
