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 COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the problem of environmental contamination of disposable personal protective equipment, in particular face masks (FMs). As a result of environmental factors, FMs undergo aging and fragmentation processes and become a source of microplastics (MPs) and chemical additives. Taking into account the scale of accumulation of used FMs and their fragments in the coastal zone, it should be expected that the most appreciable ecotoxicological consequences should be observed in hydrobionts inhabiting coastal ecosystems. Based on this, the aim of this study was to investigate the toxicity of leachates from pristine and weathered FMs using sperm of sand dollars
