Exposure assessment of pesticide residues, heavy metals, and veterinary drugs through consumption of Egyptian fish samples.
Article in Toxicology reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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 contaminants may enter seafood products either through water and sediments or via feed and feed additives or may be introduced during fish processing and storage. The study focused on the nutritional and toxicological significance of heavy metals, antibiotics, and pesticide residues in 48 fish samples collected from the Kafr-ElSheikh governorate in Egypt. Various analytical instruments are used to determine and detect heavy metals, antibiotics, and pesticides. These include Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometer (LC-MS/MS), Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS), and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS). The following metals were discovered in fish species: arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), mercury (Hg), manganese (Mn), and zinc (Zn). Each of these metals was detected 47 times. Chromium (Cr) was detected 40 times, nickel (Ni) was detected 27 times, and lead (Pb) was detected 6 times. The mean concentrations of As, Cd, Cr, Co, Cu, Fe, Ni, Mn, Hg, Pb, and Zn were determined to be 0.025, 0.02, 0.501, 0.50, 0.81, 12.56, 0.5, 0.689, 0.051, 0.031, and 5.78 mg/kg, respectively. All levels of cadmium, mercury, and lead detected in fish samples were significantly lower than the maximum permissible limits set by Egyptian and European standards. Furthermore, in this study, antibiotics and pesticide residues were found to be not detected in all analyzed fish samples. Based on the estimated daily intake and hazard quotient values, the concentration levels of metals found in fish samples seem to pose no significant threat to public health.
