Potential Risks to Human Health Caused by the Use of Pesticides in Soils of Three Municipalities Impacted by Localized Malaria in the Brazilian Amazon.
Article in Toxics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), used in the 20th century to combat malaria, is considered harmful to health and the environment. As an alternative, insecticides such as pyrethroids have been used, especially alphacypermethrin, which is applied in mosquito nets impregnated with long-lasting insecticide (LLIN). This study analyzed the concentrations of DDT and alphacypermethrin in soils from three municipalities in the Legal Amazon (Mazagão, Porto Velho, and Cantá) using gas chromatography. The results showed the presence of DDT and metabolites, indicating slow degradation in the region, especially in Cantá, with an average of 2.694 mg/kg of total DDT. Alphacypermethrin stands out in Porto Velho, with an average of 0.364 mg/kg, possibly due to the use of LLINs. DDT did not represent a significant ecological risk in this study, but it did present risks to human health, mainly through food intake. The incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR) indicated potential danger, with values of up to 2.93 × 10
