Exposure to a nanoplastic-enriched diet for fourteen days increases microglial immunoreactivity in the zebrafish telencephalon.

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
Microscopic plastic particles (micro- and nanoplastics) are an emerging environmental contaminant detected in air, soil, water, and human food supplies. Experiments using zebrafish have shown that polystyrene nanoplastics will infiltrate numerous organ systems after ingestion, including the brain, liver, muscle, and reproductive organs. Additionally, work in rodent models and cell culture has demonstrated that nanoplastics can induce inflammatory responses by microglia and alter astrocyte function. However, the responses of microglia and astrocytes in the zebrafish brain caused by daily exposures to nanoplastics have not been tested previously. In the current study, adult zebrafish were exposed to a nanoplastic-enriched diet consisting of
