Application of Eco-Friendly Fluorescent Dyes in Microplastic Detection.
Article in ACS omega, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The detection of microplastics using fluorescent staining has gained increasing attention due to the need for efficient and cost-effective analytical approaches. This study evaluates the effectiveness of three eco-friendly fluorescent dyescoumarin-6, coumarin-153, and curcuminwhile Nile Red was used as a control, for staining pristine and mechanically and thermally damaged polymer standards under ultraviolet (UV), blue, and green light illumination. Several commonly occurring polymers were analyzed to assess staining efficiency and intensity distribution. The results showed that polypropylene (PP) was the most difficult polymer to stain, with effective fluorescence achieved only using Nile Red and all tested concentrations of coumarin-6. In contrast, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) exhibited the highest staining efficiency, fluorescing under both UV and blue light with all dyes except coumarin-153 at lower concentrations. Optimal staining of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) was achieved using 50 μg mL
