A Scientific Review of Pesticides: Classification, Toxicity, Health Effects, Sustainability, and Environmental Impact.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 35 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
Over the years, the use of pesticides has risen significantly, primarily to combat undesirable organisms that threaten crucial crops. A variety of pesticides are available, each designed to protect crops from specific threats like fungi, bacteria, and other pests. Other than crop protection, pesticides are also used in controlling insect vector-borne diseases like malaria and Lyme disease in humans. However, the application of these pesticides must be carefully measured and managed to prevent adverse effects on humans, non-target animals, and the environment. This review delves into the detailed classification of pesticides, exploring their mechanisms of action, applications, benefits, and potential side effects. Understanding the different categories of pesticides, such as herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, rodenticides, and biopesticides, helps us comprehend how each function to control pests. Additionally, we discuss the advantages of pesticide use, including increased crop yields and the prevention of crop diseases, which contribute to food security and agricultural productivity. This review also addresses the significant concerns related to pesticide usage, such as the development of pest resistance, health risks to humans through exposure and residues in food, as well as the impact on biodiversity and ecosystems. The review emphasizes the importance of using pesticides responsibly and implementing integrated pest management strategies to mitigate this risk of exposure. By providing a comprehensive overview of pesticide classification, mechanisms of action, and implications, this review aims to inform and guide us to the safe and effective use of pesticides for daily agricultural practices.
