Ones That Get Away: Investigating the Leaching of Persistent, Mobile, and Toxic Plastic Additives from New and Environmentally Sampled Plastic Items.

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
Plastic additives are substances used to aid in plastic manufacturing or to impart unique properties (e.g., colorants, plasticizers, etc.). However, some plastic additives are persistent, mobile, and toxic (PMT). PMT substances can pose a substantial risk to water quality, as their stability and low adsorption potential enable them to pass through water treatment processes and remain in the environment long after their release. Importantly, many additives can leach out of plastics during environmental weathering. Despite these known risks, there has yet to be any work studying PMT plastic additive release from different plastic items or how weathering may impact their leaching. Herein, PMT plastic additive leaching from store-bought and environmentally sampled plastic items was investigated. The leachates of 68 plastic items were analyzed by using high-performance liquid chromatography with quantitative time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Significantly higher (
