1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The use of plastics in the manufacturing of food products is of concern as microplastics (MPs, 1 µm to 5 mm) find their way into food which poses risks to human health. This study is the first to report detection of MPs in selected staple food products in the Philippines, specifically sea salt, white and brown sugar, fish sauce, and rice. Raman microspectroscopy was used to identify the MPs and pigment additives. The mean MP concentration was 471 MPs kg Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13197-024-05978-2.
