Tracking Microplastics and Their Associated Chemical Additives in Plant Tissues: A Pyrolysis GC-MS Approach to Identification, Quantification, and Translocation Mechanism.

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
The accumulation and subsequent uptake of micro/nanoplastics (MP, 100 nm-5 mm), along with their associated chemical additives, within edible plant systems pose significant threats. Precisely quantifying MPs remains a considerable analytical challenge, complicated by their propensity to concentrate contaminants and their capacity to translocate from the root system to aerial tissues via as-yet-uncompletely understood mechanisms. Thus, reliable methods are required to identify MPs and chemical additives in plants. This work reports a sample preparation technique for quantifying polystyrene (PS) and related chemical additives in basil (
