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

Polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NPs) are ubiquitous in the environment, eliciting significant concerns about their possible risks to human health, especially reproductive health. Various reproductive toxicities of PS-NPs have been reported, however, information regarding the effects of PS-NPs exposure during pregnancy on offspring development and the underlying mechanisms remains limited. In this study, pregnant mice were orally administered PS-NPs (approximately 100 nm in diameter) at different concentrations (1, 10, and 100 mg/kg/day) for 17.5 consecutive days, from gestational day (GD) 0.5 to GD 17.5. The relevant samples were collected on GD 18.5 to investigate the intergenerational effects. The results indicated that PS-NPs induced placental injury and metabolic abnormalities, leading to adverse pregnancy outcomes. Specifically, PS-NPs exposure observably reduced the levels of nicotinamide (NAM) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD
