Prevalence and health risk evaluations of mycotoxins in drinking water sources in Nigeria.
Article in RSC advances, 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
Mycotoxins in drinking water are neglected pollutants that have serious health implications when ingested. Common mycotoxins with health concerns include deoxynivalenol (DON), ochratoxin A (OTA), and zearalenone (ZEN). This study considers the distribution and apparent health risks of these mycotoxins in drinking water sources (groundwater, surface water, bottled water, sachet water) in three Southwest Nigeria States: Osun, Oyo, and Lagos States, using the UHPLC-ESI-QTOF. ZEN and DON were found in all 95 water samples across all three states. ZEN in sachet water samples has the highest mean concentrations, with those from Osun, Oyo, and Lagos States having concentrations of 14.96 ± 4.46, 8.59 ± 3.86, and 10.56 ± 2.84 μg L
