Chemical and microbial risk assessment of wild edible plants and flowers.
Article in EFSA journal. European Food Safety Authority, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The document focuses on the chemical and microbial risk assessment of wild edible plants (WEPs) and flowers, highlighting potential risks from heavy metals, pesticides and microorganisms. WEPs are valuable for human nutrition and gastronomy, offering essential compounds and health benefits. They are also seen as a sustainable food source. The study used various data sources and methodologies, including microbiological load and heavy metals' analysis, to assess the risks associated with WEPs. Consumption data were gathered to comprehensively assess exposure assessment. This document provides detailed recommendations for risk characterisation and management to mitigate potential health hazards associated with WEPs. The document was developed as part of the EU-FORA fellowship programme, which aims to enhance food risk assessment expertise through training to ensure preparedness for future risk analysis needs.
