Applications of Raman spectroscopy for microplastic detection and characterization: a comprehensive spectral reference.
Review in Environmental science and pollution research international, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Microplastics (MPs), plastic particles smaller than 5 mm, represent an escalating global concern due to their persistence, ubiquity, and potential risks to ecosystems and human health. This review critically examines the application of Raman spectroscopy as a possibly non-destructive vibrational technique for detecting and characterizing MPs in environmental and biological matrices. The main objective is to consolidate Raman spectral signatures of common polymers such as polystyrene, polyester, and polyethylene terephthalate and to evaluate methodological advances that improve analytical precision and detection sensitivity. By summarizing Raman-based approaches across water, sediment, air, and biological tissues, this review identifies major analytical challenges including fluorescence interference and matrix complexity and discusses recent innovations such as coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS), surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), and compressive Raman technology (CRT). Overall, this work provides a comprehensive reference for Raman spectral data and offers practical insights to guide future research aimed at advancing MP detection and pollution mitigation.
