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

Microplastic (MP) pollution in agricultural settings is an emerging field of study, with interest focusing on potential resource contamination of soil and water due to the use of plastic materials in farming practices. The Mississippi Delta, a highly agricultural region, is prone to both natural and intentional flooding, potentially exacerbating this issue. This exploratory study investigated MP (>30 µm) concentrations, sizes, and polymer compositions in floodwater, irrigation water, and surface runoff from soybean fields across two counties in the Mississippi Delta using micro-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (µ-FTIR). Mean ± SE concentrations (MPs/L) were 72 ± 66 in floodwater (
