From environment to brain: the role of microplastics in neurobehavioral disorders.
Review in Frontiers in neuroscience, 2025. 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
In recent years, the pervasive presence of microplastics has attracted significant attention from the scientific community, particularly concerning their potential implications for human health. Current literature suggests that microplastics may adversely affect the nervous system, with emerging evidence linking them to neurobehavioral disorders. However, many questions remain regarding the pathways of their environmental exposure, the specific effects on neurobehavior, and the underlying mechanisms of their impact. This review aims to explore the routes through which humans are exposed to microplastics, monitor behavioral changes associated with microplastic exposure, and examine how these particles infiltrate the body and traverse the blood-brain barrier. Several perspectives will be considered in assessing the potential mechanisms by which microplastics may influence neurobehavioral disorders, including oxidative stress, neurotransmitter regulation, and neuroplasticity. The article concludes by summarizing the effects of microplastics on neurobehavioral disorders, such as neurodegeneration and mood disorders, while analyzing the latest research findings. The primary objective of this study is to elucidate the neurotoxic effects of microplastics and their potential biological mechanisms, as well as to provide new insights and recommendations for future research in this domain.
