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

Biopolymers are increasingly produced as sustainable alternatives to plastics, but their degradation in aquatic ecosystems raises ecological concerns. This study demonstrates that the photodegradation of polylactic acid (PLA), polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), and cellulose acetate (CA) in artificial seawater substantially increased toxicity under the elevated laboratory conditions used, compared with virgin counterparts, adversely affecting the development and growth of seaweeds. Those aged biopolymers and their leached substances impaired the growth and development of the green macroalgae
