The 2023 European Union report on pesticide residues in food.
Article in EFSA journal. European Food Safety Authority, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 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
Under European Union legislation (Article 32, Regulation (EC) No 396/2005), the European Food Safety Authority publishes an annual report assessing the pesticide residue levels in food. In 2023, as part of the EU-coordinated multiannual control programme subset, 13,246 samples placed on the European market were analysed, with a 1.0% found to be non-compliant. Risk-based sampling procedures were used for the remaining 132,793 samples with a 2.0% non-compliant rate. Both dietary acute and chronic risk to consumers' health were estimated providing the probabilities of exceedance of the health-based guidance values (HBGV) for the pesticides in food by the different subpopulation of European consumers. This meant dropping the deterministic assessment used in the past. Overall, the dietary risk was found to be very low for most of the EU subpopulation groups. Recommendations were provided to risk managers to increase the effectiveness of European control systems and to ensure a high level of consumer protection throughout the EU.
