Health risk assessment of penconazole fungicide residues in grapes: insights from Monte Carlo simulation.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
The misuse and overuse of pesticides can lead to crop contamination and accumulating pesticide residues in the food chain, raising serious public health concerns. This study assessed penconazole residue levels in grape samples from Gonabad's vineyards and evaluated the associated human health risks. In 2022, grape samples were collected from 13 vineyards and analyzed. Penconazole levels in unwashed, water-washed, and disinfected grape samples were 0.256 (0.154-0.391) mg/kg, 0.195 (0.094-0.335) mg/kg, and 0.051 (0.027-0.089) mg/kg, respectively. Although penconazole was detected in all samples, its concentration remained below the EU's Maximum Residue Level (MRL) of 0.4 mg/kg. Washing and disinfection reduced penconazole residues by 23.8% and 80%, respectively, with the highest residues observed in unwashed grapes. The hazard quotient (HQ) values for unwashed, washed, and disinfected samples were below 1, indicating negligible non-cancer health risks for teenagers and adults consuming these grapes. These findings suggest that grape consumption poses minimal health risks related to penconazole residues. This study provides valuable insights into the effectiveness of washing and disinfection in reducing pesticide residues and highlights the importance of monitoring pesticide levels to ensure food safety.
