From prescription to pollution: The ecological consequences of NSAIDs in aquatic ecosystems.
Review in Toxicology reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 15 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
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are widely utilised to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation in both human and veterinary medicine. Despite their therapeutic benefits, NSAIDs pose environmental concerns due to their possible ecotoxicity. NSAIDs can enter aquatic ecosystems through wastewater discharge as it is very difficult to extract NSAIDs by conventional wastewater treatment, thus affecting aquatic life. These drugs induce cytotoxic and genotoxic effects, affect the functioning of endocrine systems, influence behavioural changes, and impair reproduction in fish and other aquatic organisms. This review article also discusses the use of bioindicators such as fish, bivalves, and crustaceans, to estimate NSAIDs exposure in aquatic ecosystems. It emphasises the importance of monitoring these organisms to evaluate potential risks linked with NSAIDs in aquatic environments. Addressing the environmental consequences of NSAIDs requires an inclusive strategy, including regulatory measures, public awareness, and the development of environmentally friendly alternatives to mitigate the risks caused by these widely used pharmaceuticals in aquatic environments.
