1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Reliable quantification of microplastics in water remains challenging because most Raman-based methods require filtration, drying, or complex flow systems, which can lead to particle loss and signal instability. Here, we propose a simple dual-laser Raman strategy for the direct, real-time quantification of microplastics in water without pretreatment. By simultaneously integrating backscattering and transmission geometries using two identical 532 nm lasers, spatial variations in Raman scattering cross-sections, arising from particle motion and focal depth fluctuations, are effectively mitigated. The dual-laser configuration enhances Raman intensity by approximately 1.5-fold compared with backscattering and threefold compared with transmission alone (
