Every citation behind the score, with its stance, evidence mass mᵢ, recency-decayed mass, and share of the total. The score is reproducible from exactly these rows.
Patients with detectable plaque microplastics had a higher composite rate of myocardial infarction, stroke, or death. Association, not yet proven causal.
First robust quantification of microplastics in human blood — establishes exposure, neutral on harm.
Reviews the field and stresses that exposure and dose–response data remain too immature for firm conclusions.
Mechanistic evidence of inflammatory and oxidative-stress pathways at elevated doses; extrapolation to human exposure uncertain.
