Toxic effects of microplastics in aquatic environments and the pathways to sustainable management.
Review in RSC advances, 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
Environmental hazards caused by untreated synthetic polymer wastes, which are harmful to the environment after being gradually broken down into microsized particles through a number of processes. Many studies focusing on microplastics (particle sizes ranging from 1 to 5 mm) have been published. Recent discoveries of microplastics in the atmosphere of cities, suburbs, and even remote areas raise the possibility that the atmosphere might carry microplastics over long distances. The tiny size of microplastics, compared with that of macroplastics, makes their detection in environmental samples more difficult and necessitates the requirement of more advanced analytical methods. Microplastics have been detected using a wide range of technologies. This extensive review focuses on the Indian Governmental policies regarding plastic pollution and the origin, classification, detection, marine environmental effects and effective treatment strategies of microplastics. In this study, we also discuss the current approaches, research gaps of previous studies and future challenges. This review suggests that the employment of biological methods of deterioration should be prioritised in order to ensure the continued viability of the ecosystem.
