Tracking Microplastics From Source to Impact: A Review of Environmental Presence, Exposure, Remediation, and Health Risks.
Review in Current environmental health reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purpose of reviewPlastics are widely used for their affordability and versatility, but their accumulation in the environment raises growing concerns. Microplastics (MPs), formed intentionally or through degradation of larger plastics, are persistent and pervasive. This review explores recent findings on environmental occurrence, human exposure, health effects, and strategies for MP removal. Information on nanoplastics (NPs) was included when available. RECENT
findingsMPs from major plastic types are increasingly found in environmental compartments and in human fluids, tissues, and organs. Emerging evidence links MP exposure to adverse digestive and respiratory health effects. While some remediation strategies show potential in reducing environmental MP release, research is still limited on effectively minimizing human exposure. Future research should emphasize using well-characterized reference MP materials in human health and remediation studies. These materials must be relevant in size, shape, and polymer type to those identified in environmental and exposure studies, improving the accuracy and applicability of findings.
