Effects of Atmospheric Aging on the Respiratory Toxicity of Polystyrene Nanoplastic Particles.
Article in Chemical research in toxicology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Inhalation exposure to nanoplastic particles (NPPs) can lead to significant pulmonary toxicity; however, the effects of environmental processing on their toxicity remain poorly understood. This study examines the toxicity of polystyrene (PS) NPPs on lung cells following controlled atmospheric aging. Human bronchial epithelial cells (16HBE) were cultured in vitro at the air-liquid interface and acutely exposed to oxidized PS NPPs through electrostatic precipitation. Expression of proinflammatory genes interleukin-8 (
