Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Freshwater Systems: A Comprehensive Review of Sources, Distribution, and Ecotoxicological Impacts.
Review in Toxics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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 comprehensive review offers new perspectives on the distribution, sources, and ecotoxicological impacts of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in freshwater systems. Unlike previous reviews, this work integrates recent findings on PAH dynamics within environmental matrices and emphasizes spatiotemporal variability across geographic regions. It critically examines both anthropogenic and natural sources, as well as the physical, chemical, and biological mechanisms driving PAH transport and fate. Special attention is given to the ecotoxicological effects of PAHs on freshwater organisms, including bioaccumulation, endocrine disruption, and genotoxicity. Notably, this review identifies key knowledge gaps and proposes an interdisciplinary framework to assess ecological risk and guide effective monitoring and management strategies for the protection of freshwater ecosystems.
