Climate change drives persistent organic pollutant dynamics in marine environments.
Article in Communications earth & environment, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Understanding climate change impacts in combination with other anthropogenic stressors, such as chemical pollution, is critical to identifying vulnerable marine ecosystems. This paper presents a systematic review and conceptual model mapping evidence of the marine environmental fate and biological effects of persistent organic pollutants with shifting climate drivers. Increasing ice melt, atmospheric deposition, and sediment remobilization are altering persistent organic pollutant dynamics in northern polar environments, but with data gaps elsewhere. While limited to fish and invertebrates, principal biological effect pathways involve reduced survival and perturbed thermal regulation and bioenergetics, notably in some populations residing in more heavily polluted and thermal edge habitats. Associated food web shifts with climate change are also altering persistent organic pollutant bioaccumulation among some marine mammal and seabird populations and assemblages. The evidence suggests potential ecological deterioration in some areas, with many unknowns underscoring the need for advancing experimental and modeling tools to evaluate these complex interactions.
