1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 commonly consumed cereals pose a significant global threat to human health and economic stability. This review examines the occurrence of key mycotoxins, specifically aflatoxins (AFTs), ochratoxin A (OTA), zearalenone (ZEN), deoxynivalenol (DON), and fumonisins (FUMs) in the most widely consumed cereals: corn, wheat, and rice. The results indicate substantial regional variations, with the highest contamination levels occurring in Africa (36.59 %), Asia (33.06 %), Europe (29.06 %), and the Americas (19.20 %). Among the mycotoxins, DON exhibited the highest average contamination rate across all regions, at 49.6 %. In Africa, AFTs (63.19 %) and fumonisins (60.17 %) were particularly prevalent. Significant contamination levels of DON (55.25 %) and OTA (47.24 %) were noted in Asia. Recent advancements in liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry have enhanced the sensitivity and efficiency of detection methods. This review aligns with the overarching objective of safeguarding human health from the increasing risk of mycotoxins and ensuring a sustainable food and feed supply chain.
