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

In the context of the global transition towards a more sustainable economy, the use of bioplastics (BPs) is rapidly increasing across several sectors, including industry, medicine and cosmetics. Among BPs, polylactic acid (PLA) is the "polymer of the 21st century". Because of its wide use and slow degradation capacity, it can be found in various aquatic matrices, causing potential health concerns for biota. This work evaluated the influence of environmental concentrations (0.5 µg/mL) of PLA BPs on the reproductive health of the Mediterranean mussel
