Educating for environmental transition: the summer school on microplastics.
Article in Environmental science and pollution research international, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Plastics are deeply embedded in modern life, but their degradation releases micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) into ecosystems. These persistent particles are found everywhere, from oceans to the human body, and raise growing concerns about environmental and human health, biodiversity, and sustainability implications. Despite increasing awareness, effective responses to MNP pollution remain limited by unresolved challenges in scientific monitoring, policymaking, and public engagement. Addressing these challenges, the summer school on "Microplastics: From Environmental Impact to Policy, Innovation, and Public Awareness" held in June 2025 in Geneva, Switzerland, exemplifies an innovative educational model. The program was multi- and interdisciplinary, action-oriented, internationally collaborative, and rooted in local contexts. Focusing on microplastic pollution in aquatic environments, it brought together participants from 15 countries to explore the nexus of science, policy, governance, innovation, and public engagement. This contribution reflects the summer school's design and outcomes, highlighting its promise as a model for advancing next-generation environmental education as well as discussing some of the key challenges.
