1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Micro(nano)plastics (MNPs) pose a significant threat to both ecological environments and human health. This review systematically examines the developmental toxicity of MNPs in mammals, with a particular focus on the impact of maternal and paternal exposure on offspring. Evidence indicates that MNPs can cross placental barriers, inducing abnormal development of embryos, fetuses, and placentas. This disruption leads to a range of adverse outcomes, including neurodevelopmental abnormalities, behavioral disorders, reproductive system damage, etc., in offspring. Through a comprehensive analysis of the existing literature, this review aims to provide a foundation for future research on the developmental toxicity of MNPs and highlight the urgent need for action to mitigate the detrimental effects of MNPs on human health and ecosystem integrity.
