Chronic PET-Microplastic Exposure: Disruption of Gut-Liver Homeostasis and Risk of Hepatic Steatosis.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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 pervasive pollutants found in environments and food, with humans experiencing continuous exposure. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a major plastic contaminant detected in food and beverages. However, the chronic effects of environmentally relevant, physically abraded PET-MPs on health, on the liver, remain elusive. This study investigates the hepatotoxicity of the PET-MPs following long-term exposure, with a focus on the gut-liver axis interactions and transcriptomic responses. Male mice are exposed to PET-MPs (5 mg week
