Eco-corona: A new frontier in understanding micro- and nanoplastic-gut interactions.
Review in World journal of methodology, 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
Plastics released into natural environments undergo complex transformations, ending in the spontaneous formation of an "eco-corona", a dynamic layer of adsorbed organic molecules, biomolecules, and microorganisms. This eco-corona profoundly alters the physicochemical identity of micro- and nanoplastics, modulating their environmental fate, pollutant adsorption, cellular uptake, and toxicity. Emerging evidence shows that eco-corona-coated plastics can act as vectors for environmental pollutants and microbial pathogens, raising significant concerns for ecosystems and human health, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract. Eco-corona dynamics influence colloidal stability, pollutant vectorization, immune responses, and interactions with the gut microbiota, potentially contributing to barrier dysfunction, inflammation, and microbiota dysbiosis. However, major knowledge gaps persist regarding the real-world composition and evolution of eco-coronas, their interplay with biological coronas, and their long-term impacts on health. This mini review synthesizes current insights into eco-corona formation, its modulation of micro- and nanoplastic behavior and toxicity, and highlights critical research priorities to better understand and mitigate the emerging risks at the interface between plastic pollution and gastroenterology.
