Assessing food safety practices and foodborne illness risk factors in Brazilian households.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Foodborne illnesses represent a pressing public health issue, with Brazilian households accounting for over a third of reported outbreaks in the country. This study aimed to investigate food handling practices in Brazilian homes, evaluating their influence on the self-reported occurrence of foodborne illnesses. A total of 1,043 respondents participated in the study. Data was collected through an online questionnaire that captured their demographic data, feeding hygiene behaviors, food storage and preparation habits. Cluster analysis identified four groups based on adherence to food safety practices. Key findings revealed significant deficiencies: only 3.07% utilize thermometer to check meat doneness, which prevents the ingestion of viable pathogens, 64.90% of participants use the same cutting board for raw meat and vegetables and only 32.70% reported washing packages before storing them in the refrigerator. Risk factor analysis highlighted that older adults and males reported fewer foodborne illness, while cluster that adhered less to proper food manipulation exhibited higher illness rates. Our findings emphasize the urgent need for targeted educational campaigns to address critical gaps, such as discouraging meat washing and promoting safe storage practices. This study underscores the importance of innovative interventions to reduce household foodborne illnesses, contributing to improved public health outcomes.
