Evaluation of microplastic pollution in industrial wastewater and their biodegradation using a novel indigenous bacterial isolate.
Article in Biodegradation, 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) are an emerging environment pollutant that widely distributed across various environmental matrices and pose significant risks to marine biota, invertebrates and humans. Industrial wastewater sample was collected from the Urkura industrial area, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India to evaluate the presence as well as biodegradation of microplastics. Microplastics were extracted and characterized for size, shape and colour using stereo and fluorescence microscopy, while polymer composition was identified using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Raman Spectroscopy (RS). The analysis revealed (PE) as the predominant polymer, mainly occurring in fibre and fragment forms. Other polymers including polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), low density polyethylene (LDPE) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) were also identified. Quantitative analysis revealed a mean concentration of 64±1 particles/L (64000 particles/m
