A global dataset of microplastics in urban stormwater runoff (2018-2024).
Article in Scientific data, 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
Microplastic (<5 mm) pollution is a growing environmental concern, with urban stormwater systems serving as critical transport pathways. While microplastics predominantly originate and circulate within urban environments, transported via stormwater runoff to receiving water bodies, existing datasets focus almost exclusively on marine and coastal waters. This mismatch between contamination sources and data infrastructure has left urban stormwater systems without dedicated data resources to support research and management. In this research, we present the Dataset of Urban RUnoff Microplastics (DURUM), a global dataset dedicated to microplastics in urban stormwater runoff. The objective of DURUM is to compile, standardize, and serve urban runoff microplastic data in a consistent format to enable data-driven approaches for developing predictive transport models. DURUM systematically compiles 180 sampling efforts from peer-reviewed studies published between 2018 and 2024, encompassing surface runoff from streets, residential catchments, commercial districts, industrial areas, and drainage infrastructure across 15 countries. This paper describes DURUM's structure, compilation methodology, standardization protocols, and future research directions.
