Global mapping of freshwater contamination by pesticides and implications for agriculture and water resource protection.
Article in iScience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Pesticide residues in freshwater threaten water sustainability, but the global discrepancies in freshwater pesticide contamination remain uncertain. This study collected pesticide concentration data from various countries around the world and adopted a flexible scoring approach to assess contamination within surface freshwater and groundwater. Results revealed significant disparities in contamination among countries. Africa was identified as a priority for freshwater pesticide control as most countries there showed relatively high scores in both surface freshwater and groundwater. Notably, robust pesticide regulations were associated with reduced surface freshwater pollution, whereas pesticide usage intensity showed no clear effect. Additionally, pesticide residues in freshwater pose challenges to drinking water safety, with over half of the water samples in many African and Asian countries exceeding aldrin and dieldrin limits. These findings provide insight into the pattern of global pesticide freshwater contamination, urging efforts on comprehensive water monitoring networks and joint pesticide management within freshwater.
