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

The accumulation of microplastics (MPs) in aquatic environments is a contemporary concern of great relevance, however, freshwater ecosystems, particularly reservoirs, have received less attention. This study evaluates the MPs in Rabagão and Aguieira Portuguese reservoirs, and their role in ecological quality assessments. Along 2023, sub-surface water samples were collected to assess Ecological Potential, under Water Framework Directive (WFD) metrics, and to characterize MPs by type, colour, size, and chemical composition. Reservoirs were also characterized by land use, soil occupation, and anthropogenic pressures. Results confirm MPs contamination in both reservoirs, predominantly fibres, with Rabagão exhibiting higher total abundance (Rabagão 5,862
