Low-Temperature Degradation of Aflatoxins via Oxygen Plasma: Kinetics and Mechanism Driven by Atomic Oxygen Flux.
Article in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Aflatoxins are toxic organic substances that are synthesized on the surfaces of seeds, nuts, and similar products by some fungi under elevated humidity. They decompose at temperatures well above 130 °C, so standard heating or autoclaving is an obsolete technique for the degradation of toxins on surfaces without significant modification of the treated material. Non-equilibrium plasma was used to degrade aflatoxins at low temperatures and determine the efficiency of O atoms. A commercial mixture of aflatoxins was deposited on smooth substrates, and the solvent was evaporated so that about a 3 nm thick film of dry toxins remained on the substrates. The samples were exposed to low-pressure oxygen plasma sustained by an inductively coupled radiofrequency (RF) discharge in either the E or H mode. The gas pressure was 20 Pa, the forward RF power was between 50 and 700 W, and the O-atom flux was between 1.2 × 10
