Measurement and evaluation of pesticide residue risk in vegetables: evidence from China.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Introduction: With the modernization of agricultural production and the widespread use of chemical pesticides, pesticide residue risk has emerged as a significant public health concern globally. Pesticide residues in vegetables represent a potential hazard to consumer health. A scientific evaluation of their risk status not only enhances information transparency but also provides a precise foundation for food safety regulation. Methods: This study devised a vegetable pesticide residue risk index by integrating the probability of residue detection and the extent of associated harm, utilizing 294,703 monitored sampling data across 30 provinces from 2021 to 2023 to methodically assess and quantify the risk of vegetable pesticide residues in China. Results: Out of 52 vegetable types analyzed, 33 had pesticide residue levels that surpassed the permissible limits, with leeks and celery registering the highest risk indices. Regarding regional variations, Jiangsu, Jilin, Hubei, Hainan, and Heilongjiang were identified with the highest risk levels, while Ningxia, Yunnan, Shaanxi, Gansu, and Tianjin presented the lowest. The dispersion of vegetable pesticide residues has been progressively extending from the northeast towards the southwest. The predominant pesticide residues were found in three types-Clothianidin, Procymidone, and Chlorpyrifos, which constituted 43.6% of the overall exceedances. Discussion: These findings provide a scientific basis for risk-based regulation, supporting region-specific inspection and targeted pesticide control. The study advocates tailored regulatory measures that consider both regional risk profiles and pesticide characteristics to reduce residue risks. Enhanced data transparency further empowers consumers to make informed choices, fostering a bottom-up compliance mechanism.
