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

Micro- and nanoplastics (M/NPs) are widespread environmental pollutants arising from the increased use of plastics, presenting significant threats to human health and freshwater ecosystems. These particles are derived from both secondary and primary sources, including the breakdown of larger plastic debris and industrial abrasives, and cosmetics. After being released, M/NPs move through the air, water, and soil, where they persist, bioaccumulate, and interact with biological systems, potentially causing toxicity, inflammation, and oxidative stress. This study thoroughly addresses the origins, environmental routes, and health impacts of M/NPs, as well as the most current remediation strategies. Physical, chemical, biological, and hybrid therapeutic techniques are evaluated critically, with adsorption receiving special attention due to its efficiency and simplicity of usage. Graphene oxide (GO), a potential carbon-based adsorbent with a large surface area, several oxygen-containing functional groups, and a remarkable removal capability (up to 617.28 mg g
