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

Plastamination, the pervasive integration of microplastics and nanoplastics into ecological and biological systems, represents a growing yet underrecognized environmental health crisis. This editorial explores the systemic consequences of plastic particle exposure on human health, including neurotoxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, and gut microbiota disruption, alongside its ecological impacts on soil fertility, food security, and climate change. Drawing on the One Health and planetary health frameworks, the piece calls for urgent regulatory, scientific, and policy interventions to mitigate plastamination's far-reaching risks and ensure intergenerational environmental justice.
