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

Microplastics (MPs) are increasingly recognized as an urgent global health concern, with mounting evidence linking their bioaccumulation to chronic disease risks. The liver, as a central organ for metabolic homeostasis and detoxification, is particularly sensitive to sustained MP exposure. However, the mechanisms underlying hepatic responses to polyethylene (PE), the most prevalent yet relatively understudied plastic type, remain poorly defined. By performing combined bulk and spatial transcriptomic analyses, we observed that PE resulted in hepatic dysfunction in mice fed on standard or metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH)-inducing diets, driving both globally and spatially distinct transcriptional alterations, including a nuclear receptor (NR),
