Natural Occurrence of Main Mycotoxins in Herbs and Spices Commercialized in Italy.
Article 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
A total of 98 samples of spices, herbs, and mixtures commercialized in Italy were analyzed for 11 mycotoxins, regulated and non-regulated. The occurrence of 1-4 mycotoxins was found in 84% and 60% of spice samples and herb samples, respectively. Spices were the most contaminated matrix. Total aflatoxins were detected in 5% and 9% of herbs and spices, respectively, and ochratoxin A was detected in 14% of spices and not at all in herbs. Only one sample of spices (cloves) showed an AFB
