Pattern of Detections Across Multiple Environmental Messenger RNAs (e-mRNAs) in Stressor-Exposed Zebrafish (
Article in Ecology and evolution, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Environmental RNA (eRNA) is gaining ground as an environmental monitoring tool. Whereas eDNA is mainly utilized for species detection, eRNA may provide additional classes of inference. The comparatively more rapid signal decay rates of eRNA provide narrower temporal windows for species presence, while detection of environmental messenger RNAs (e-mRNAs) could provide evidence of genomic responses to environmental stressors. We explored e-mRNA as an environmental tracer for stress imposed on animal populations by investigating the decay dynamics of e-mRNA gene detections from target organism presence to recent presence. We tested seven select e-mRNAs of known molecular targets of perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) toxicity in tanks containing zebrafish (
