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

Marine invertebrates are characterized by high species diversity, a wide distribution, ease of culture, low cost, short life cycles and high sensitivity to pollutants, which makes them excellent models for observing toxic effects and elucidating underlying mechanisms. This paper reviews representative species from three phyla-Arthropoda, Mollusca, and Echinodermata-under both single emerging contaminant exposure and combined exposure scenarios, and analyzes the reproductive and neurotoxic impacts of these contaminants on marine invertebrates. Neurotoxicity is mediated by several key mechanisms: inhibition of acetylcholinesterase activity; disruption of neurotransmitter balance, oxidative stress; and cellular damage, interference with embryonic neural development and axis specification, and impairment of neural cell differentiation and migration. Reproductive toxicity impairs reproductive development by disrupting endocrine signaling, inducing oxidative stress, downregulating reproduction-related genes and damaging gonadal structure. Studies have shown that, besides environmental factors, contaminant concentration is closely correlated with toxic potency and differing concentration ratios can lead to either antagonistic or synergistic effects in combined toxicity. Current research has largely focused on single or binary contaminant systems, whereas studies on multi-contaminant mixtures and their interactions with multiple environmental factors remain limited. Future research should prioritize combined exposure to multiple contaminants, long-term multigenerational observations and the development of comprehensive ecological risk assessment models and monitoring standards, thereby providing a scientific basis for marine ecological conservation.
