1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The management of mycotoxin contamination in the supply chain is continuously evolving in response to growing knowledge about mycotoxins, shifting factors that influence mycotoxin occurrence, and ongoing technological developments. One of the technological developments is the potential for using artificial intelligence (AI) in mycotoxin management. AI can be used in various fields of mycotoxin management, including for predictive modelling of mycotoxins and for analytical detection and analyses. This review aimed to investigate the state-of-the-art of the use of AI for mycotoxin management. This review focuses on (1) predictive models for the presence of mycotoxins in commodities at both pre-harvest and post-harvest levels and (2) the detection of mycotoxins in samples by processing large datasets resulting from imaging data or chemical analyses of the sample. A systematic review was conducted, resulting in a total of 70 relevant references, including 15 references focusing on mycotoxin prediction models and 54 references focusing on mycotoxin detection, ranging from imaging to chemical analysis, and including relevant reviews. The AI applications and the most popular AI algorithms are presented. As shown by this review, AI is able to improve mycotoxin prediction models both at pre- and post-harvest levels and makes the emergence of non-invasive and fast detection methods such as imaging detection or electronic noses possible. A major challenge remains in the applicability and scalability of AI models to practical settings.
