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

The widespread environmental presence of microplastics has led to their increasing co-occurrence with pesticides in agricultural soils, which raises concerns about their potential combined effects on pollutant behavior and toxicity. In this study, we investigated the environmental fate of boscalid and its toxicity to earthworms under co-exposure with two types of microplastics. Both polyethylene microplastics (PE) and polylactic acid microplastics (PLA) significantly enhanced boscalid retention in soil and delayed its degradation. Co-exposure impaired intestinal barrier function, promoted boscalid bioaccumulation, and triggered more severe oxidative stress and metabolic disturbances in earthworms. Notably, differences were observed between PE and PLA in their effects on boscalid behavior and earthworm responses. Our study suggests that microplastics may influence the ecological risk of boscalid through potential carrier effects and biological interface interactions and indicates mechanistic differences between conventional and biodegradable microplastics in modulating pesticide toxicity. These findings offer new insights into the environmental risk assessment of combined pollution.
