Effects of washing methods on indoxacarb contamination and acute exposure assessment in Welsh onions (

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
Pesticides are commonly used to control pests during crop production to increase productivity. In this study, we investigated the effects of washing methods on indoxacarb (pesticide) levels in Welsh onions. Welsh onions exposed to indoxacarb at a concentration threefold higher (0.3 kg a.i./ha) than the recommended rate were processed using five washing methods: running washing (RW), immersive washing (IW), RW after IW (IW-RW), RW after IW with vegetable wash (IW/VW-RW), and industrial washing (AS-IW). Among the washing methods, AS-IW showed the highest reduction rate of 70.8-81.9%. Simple water washing reduced pesticide residues, with longer times and higher frequencies resulting in greater reductions. Acute exposure assessment revealed that the percentage of acute reference dose (%ARfD) for all age and sex groups decreased from 0.59 to 0.96% before washing to 0.11-0.76% after washing, confirming reduced pesticide risk. Conclusively, washing effectively reduces pesticide residues in Welsh onions and lower pesticide-related health risks.
