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 nanoplastic (MNP) detection in human tissues demonstrates that exposure at any life stage is inevitable. We have previously demonstrated that pulmonary exposure to this emerging environmental contaminant impairs endothelial function in the uterine vasculature of nonpregnant and pregnant rats. However, neither the mechanism of this dysfunction nor the role of the endothelial-derived vasodilator, nitric oxide (NO), has been interrogated. Therefore, we assessed uterine macro- and microvascular reactivity in Sprague Dawley rats to determine the mechanistic role of NO signaling in endothelial dysfunction after repeated (
