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

Microplastics have emerged as persistent environmental pollutants, ubiquitously present in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Their minute size facilitates entry into food webs, where they disrupt physiological functions and trigger oxidative stress and inflammatory responses in living organisms. Furthermore, microplastics act as vectors for toxic chemicals and pathogenic microorganisms, intensifying their ecological and health-related hazards. Due to their stable and highly polymerized structure, natural degradation of these materials remains extremely limited. Photocatalysis has gained considerable attention as a sustainable and eco-friendly approach for the degradation of microplastics. This review comprehensively summarizes research progress from 2015 to 2025, focusing on photocatalytic mechanisms, degradation pathways, and efficiency trends, particularly for polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene. Among various photocatalysts, titanium dioxide (TiO
