Protocol - What is the prevalence of problematic images and incorrect histopathological assessments in articles on microplastics exposure in zebrafish (Danio rerio)?

Summary

This is a study protocol, essentially a plan of action, not final results yet, for checking scientific papers on microplastics and zebrafish (a small fish commonly used to study how toxins affect living things) for image errors and flawed analysis. Since zebrafish studies help scientists understand how microplastics might harm humans, spotting problems in this research matters because flawed studies could give us a false picture of how risky microplastic exposure really is.
