Sicurpest: A Prototype of a User-Friendly Tool for Preventive Risk Assessment of Pesticide Use in Agriculture.
Article in Toxics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In recent years, there has been a significant increase in attention towards the use of pesticides, as evidenced by the introduction of regulations aimed at ensuring their safe and environmentally responsible application. Although this stricter legislative framework offers potential benefits, the challenges faced by farmers, particularly those in small-scale operations, in complying with occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements are considerable. To address this issue, a research project was promoted by the Italian Workers' Compensation Authority (INAIL) aimed at developing a user-friendly software tool to support farmers in planning pesticide applications in safe conditions. This study summarizes the results of the research, which consisted of three main phases: the definition of the main parameters that characterize the farmers' exposure based on the analysis of the literature; the development of a risk assessment model that integrates these determinants with data provided by producers for each authorized pesticide; and the development of software tool (called SICURPEST) for a preliminary risk assessment when using pesticides. This tool serves as a preliminary risk assessment method, offering a simplified model for practical use by farmers. Its initial verification was conducted through a case study and the results represent a step towards promoting safer pesticide practices, providing a solid basis for further validation.
