Application of microcosms in research on the impact of PPCP´s on the aquatic environment.
Article in Scientific 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
The occurrence of emergent pollutants (include e.g. persistent organic pollutants, pharmaceuticals and personal care products - PPCP´s, surfactants, microplastics and other) in the environment is increasing. Pharmaceuticals and personal care products include, for example, skin cosmetics, toothpastes, perfumes and fragrances, pharmaceutical and veterinary medicines, other health and cosmetic personal care products. Most of these products serve to improve the quality of everyday life, but even at low regular doses they can cause various effects on the environment. The main component of many pharmaceuticals and personal care products are surfactants, which have a negative impact especially for surface waters and their ecosystems. This article addresses the assessment of the impact of pollutants contained in pharmaceuticals and personal care products on the aquatic environment using microcosms. Microcosms are used to assess the impact of contaminants in the aquatic environment. Scientific studies with microcosms connect knowledge from single-species toxicological tests and field studies, which can provide new information about life processes and the functioning of ecosystems, or a specific component of biodiversity. The study tested the effects of model samples prepared from selected PPCP's (universal washing gel and liquid detergent for dishes) on aquatic microcosms created from Lemna minor, Daphnia magna, Desmodesmus subspicatus, Oocystis cf. lacustris, Raphidocelis inclinata, and Chlorella vulgaris. Changes in selected indicators (total phosphorus, pH, surfactants, chlorophyll α) in the aquatic microcosms were also monitored and compared with a control microcosm. The results obtained from the research demonstrate that the presence of Lemna minor in aquatic ecosystems contributes to the degradation of surfactants, and its presence in surface water sources may be significant. The small aquatic crustaceans Daphnia magna was found to be sensitive to the presence of PPCP's product samples.
