Microplastic Transport in Buckwheat Root-Inspired Microfluidic Structures: Microfluidic and Numerical Analysis.

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
Microplastics released from synthetic textiles are increasingly recognized as an important source of environmental contamination and a potential pathway of their entry into soil-plant systems. This study quantified microfibre release from warp-knitted polyester fabric during domestic washing and investigated the migration behaviour of microplastics within root epidermis-like structures using a combined experimental and numerical approach. Microfibre emission was determined gravimetrically according to ISO 4484-1:2023. The average release per washing cycle was 0.6 ± 0.5 g of microfibres per kilogram of polyester textile. Raman spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry analysis confirmed that the released particles consisted of polyethylene terephthalate. Scanning electron microscopy of buckwheat (
