Subchronic Exposure to Nonylphenol Ethoxylate at Environmentally Relevant Level Promotes Mutagenic, Neurotoxic, and Pro-oxidant Effects in Bullfrog Tadpoles.

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
Nonylphenol compounds released into aquatic environments have been shown to exert deleterious effects on aquatic organisms. Amphibians, particularly during larval stages, are highly vulnerable to chemical stressors and are chronically exposed to pollutants such as nonylphenol ethoxylate (NPE). This study evaluated the sublethal effects of environmentally relevant concentrations of NPE (30 µg L−1) under sub-chronic exposure in Aquarana catesbeiana tadpoles (Gosner stage 25), with emphasis on mutagenic, neurotoxic, and oxidative responses. The analyses included blood cell composition, frequency of micronuclei (MN) and erythrocytic nuclear abnormalities (ENAs), acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in brain and muscle tissues, and oxidative stress biomarkers (lipid peroxidation and protein carbonylation) in blood. Results demonstrated that NPE exposure induced clastogenic and aneugenic effects in erythrocytes, impaired central and muscular cholinergic function, and triggered oxidative stress in blood. These findings highlight the NPE potential to disrupt critical physiological systems in amphibians.
