Common coastal best management practice materials are a microplastic source.

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
Coastal development has led to a reframing of shoreline protection best management practices (BMPs), which use geotextiles for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. One risk of geotextile use in dynamic coastal environments is degradation into microplastics. This preliminary study quantified microplastic release from such degradation. Two common BMP geotextiles, black silt fence and green mesh geomat, were exposed to simulated estuarine conditions in mesocosms that included wave action as well as ambient ultraviolet radiation and temperatures. Water from the mesocosms was sampled, sieved, and analyzed through a combined approach of visual counting and laser direct infrared (LDIR) analysis. Visual counts revealed elevated synthetic particles in both treatments, with black particle concentrations 8.8x higher in the black silt fence treatment and green particle concentrations 5.1x higher in the green mesh geomat treatment. LDIR verification indicated elevated polypropylene concentrations from first exposure "wash-off" (5600 particles m
