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, plastic particles with dimensions between 0.1 and 5 mm, represent an important environmental pollutant. The removal of microplastics from natural and wastewater is a challenging research topic. In this regard, high-performance technical solutions must be identified, which can be based on existing treatment and purification technologies, to ensure their removal at concentration values in accordance with the legislation in force. In this study, the efficiency of removing some fractions of polyurethane microplastics, with dimensions smaller than 500 µm, from aqueous synthetic solutions with a concentration of 0.2 g L
