Impact of Polystyrene Micro- and Nanoplastics on the Biological Traits of the Japanese Carpenter Ant,
Article in Insects, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Insects, being among the most diverse and abundant organisms in terrestrial ecosystems, are inevitably exposed to ubiquitous micro- and nanoplastic contaminants. Although studies on the impact of these contaminants on terrestrial insects are gradually emerging, they remain limited in scope. In this study, we investigated the biological traits (including foraging behavior, food assumption, digging ability, body weight and survival) of the Japanese carpenter ant,
