Fig. 8

Examples showing how the toxicity thresholds were identified from effect size estimates (di), by chemical, outcome, species, life stage, and temperature and pH conditions. Effect size estimates are ranked by increasing exposure intensity, with point symbols representing different primary research articles. The 95% confidence intervals of estimates indicating an adverse effect significantly different from zero are coloured black, while those that are not significant are grey. The dark and light blue points indicate studies with an overall low and unclear risk of bias, respectively. Index TT is the number given to each set of effect size estimates used to determine the toxicity threshold in Additional file 5 (“Cases quantitative synthesis” and “Toxicity thresholds” sheets)
