Brassinosteroids as phytohormonal shields against micro- and nanoplastic stress in plants.
Review in Frontiers in plant science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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) and nanoplastics (NPs) are biologically active stressors in agricultural soils, where they alter soil physical structure, disrupt rhizosphere processes, impair water and nutrient acquisition, and provoke oxidative and hormonal disequilibrium in plants. Brassinosteroids (BRs), particularly brassinolide and 24-epibrassinolide, have recently emerged as modulators of plant responses to plastic-particle stress. Current evidence indicates that BRs do not detoxify plastics directly. Instead, they reorganize plant performance across interconnected layers: aquaporin-linked NP transport, antioxidant and ascorbate-glutathione metabolism, photosystem II function, hormone crosstalk, secondary metabolism, and rhizosphere feedbacks. In tomato, BRs reduced polystyrene-NP accumulation in edible tissues by suppressing aquaporin genes. In
