Occurrence of Pesticides, Mycotoxins, and Heavy Metals in Distilled Alcoholic Beverages: A Review of Contaminants and Health Risks.
Review in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Distilled alcoholic beverages may contain pesticides, mycotoxins, and heavy metals originating from raw materials, environmental factors and technological processes. This review paper analyses the existing regulations related to these contaminants, their impact on health and the risk assessment associated with their consumption. Sources of contamination are discussed, including the influence of climatic conditions and emerging environmental risks on the occurrence of contaminants in raw materials, as well as the transfer of all contaminants during the distillation process. Furthermore, analytical detection methods and strategic measures to reduce consumer exposure are reviewed. The results of the review highlight the need for continued research, improvement of control methods and adaptation of regulatory standards in line with new scientific knowledge.
