Analysis and fate of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the global aquatic environment: perspectives and combined risks with microplastics.
Review in Analytical and bioanalytical chemistry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are synthetic, highly persistent environmental contaminants increasingly recognized for their global occurrence, bioaccumulation potential, and toxicological impacts. This review provides a critical overview of analytical challenges and the environmental fate of both legacy and emerging PFAS, with particular emphasis on ultrashort-chain compounds such as trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). The existing literature pertaining to PFAS occurrence across aquatic systems, landfill leachates, sewage sludge, and food matrices is synthesized, and their interactions with microplastics (MPs) are examined, underscoring combined risks to ecosystems and human health. Advances in targeted liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) coupled with non-target analysis (NTA) have greatly expanded PFAS detection, identifying over 750 novel compounds and revealing total concentrations up to seven times higher than targeted screening alone, while gas chromatography-non-target screening (GC-NTS) enables the detection of neutral and volatile PFAS from high-temperature processes. The insights presented aim to support the development of sustainable monitoring, mitigation, and policy frameworks for PFAS management in the context of global water reuse and the circular economy.
