Bangla-ToCo: A context-aware dataset for Bengali toxic comment detection.
Article in Data in brief, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
In today's online world, abusive and toxic comments on social media have become a growing concern, particularly for languages like Bengali, where there are currently few reliable automatic moderation systems. In this study, we introduce a context-aware dataset for identifying toxic comments in Bengali by considering how a comment's meaning changes when we read it alongside the relevant information. We present a dataset of 1004 Bengali news comments obtained from the official Facebook pages of two widely read Bangladeshi news portals such as ProthomAlo and News24. Each data record includes six attributes: the news title, metadata of the article, the target comment, its predecessor comment, its successor comment, and the commenter's username. Unlike existing Bengali corpora that present isolated text, this dataset preserves conversational context, enabling more accurate interpretation of ambiguous or short comments. The dataset has been annotated into two categories: Toxic and Non-Toxic. Annotation was performed independently by three human annotators, and the final label for each comment was assigned through majority voting to ensure consistency and reduce individual bias. This balanced class distribution makes the dataset particularly suitable for supervised learning and benchmarking. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first context-aware Bengali toxic comment dataset. Although modest in size, it provides one of the first systematically annotated resources for Bengali, a low-resource language in NLP. It has potential applications in abusive content detection, sentiment and stance classification, conversational modelling, and social discourse analysis, making it a valuable contribution for both computational linguistics and social sciences.
