Gut-Liver Axis Mediates the Combined Hepatointestinal Toxicity of Triclosan and Polystyrene Microplastics in Mice: Implications for Human Co-Exposure Risks.
Article in Toxics, 2025. 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
As two representative environmental contaminants, the individual toxic effects of microplastics and triclosan have been extensively studied; however, systematic evidence regarding their combined toxicity in mammals and the underlying mechanisms remains lacking. In this study, mice were orally exposed to triclosan (TCS) or/and polystyrene microplastics (PS), and their toxicity to intestine and liver was evaluated through histopathological examination, biochemical assays, and 16S rRNA sequencing. Results demonstrated that co-exposure to TCS and PS elicited markedly aggravated toxicological effects compared to individual exposures. Histopathological evaluation revealed exacerbated tissue damage, with histological scores substantially higher in co-exposed mice (colon: 7.27; liver: 5.0) than in PS-alone (colon: 6.07; liver: 3.0) or TCS-alone (colon: 3.0; liver: 0.7) groups. Quantitative Integrated Biomarker Response (IBR) analysis confirmed this potential additive or synergistic interaction: co-exposure not only dramatically elevated colonic oxidative stress (R
