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

Microplastics have become a global environmental issue, and this challenge has also emerged in river environments. In this study, the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) was selected as the research area, and microplastics in water and sediments were chosen as the objects. The occurrence characteristics of microplastics were presented in rivers of the TGR through the methods of field sample collection and laboratory testing, and the risks of microplastics were evaluated using the pollution risk index (PRI) and potential ecological risk index. The results showed that the average abundances of microplastics in water and sediments of the rivers from the TGR were 15,464 particles/m
