Occurrence, Temporal Variability, and Loads of Poly(vinyl chloride) in the Rhine and Moselle.

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
There is an urgent need to improve the knowledge about occurrence and behavior of microplastics in the aquatic environment. The aim of this study was to determine the temporal variability and spatial distribution of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) in the larger German rivers Rhine and Moselle. Monitoring campaigns using a continuous flow centrifuge (sampling of suspended matter in a particle size range of 1 mm-1 μm) revealed a strong dependence of PVC concentrations of up to 3.3 μg/L on the discharge. It could be shown that PVC microplastic concentrations have strong correlations with suspended matter (correlation coefficients >0.94 with
