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

Rivers are major pathways for plastic pollution to oceans, with high emissions in tropical regions. Research in the Saigon River showed that invasive water hyacinths (WHs) can trap macroplastics and serve as proxies for detecting river plastic using remote sensing. We explore this phenomenon and its detection methods transferability to the Chao Phraya River. Along a 62.1 km river course, WHs trapped an average of 32% of floating plastics, reaching local maxima of 78%, comparable to 54%-82% in the Saigon. Plastic concentration in WHs was 59 times higher than in open water, increasing downstream. Object detection models transferred well for WHs and entangled plastics (Chao Phraya: mAP
