Aflatoxin surveillance in Punjab's dairy sector: feed and milk contamination.
Article in Mycotoxin research, 2026. 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
This panel-type longitudinal study assesses the impact of socio-economic factors on aflatoxin contamination in milk and feed within Punjab, Pakistan. This study enabled monthly tracking of contamination and awareness levels, providing a dynamic assessment of changes over time. Utilizing a geographically representative cluster random sampling, 36 districts were stratified into five clusters (north, south, east, west and central) for comprehensive analysis. A total of 300 milk and 300 feed samples were collected monthly and analysed using competitive enzyme immunoassay kits. Data collected from face-to-face interviews and laboratory analyses were statistically analyzed using SPSS and R- software. Socio-economic variables, including education, income, landholding size, herd size, and milk yield, were examined in relation to contamination levels with adjustments for potential confounding factors. Results indicated significant correlations between education levels and aflatoxin awareness, with higher education correlating with reduced contamination. Aflatoxin levels were highest in the central region, linked to reliance on self-stored grains. Training on aflatoxin management significantly reduced contamination. Socio-economic attributes, except education, did not significantly impact contamination levels. Feed price inversely correlated with aflatoxin levels, suggesting economic investment in higher quality feed reduces contamination. This study showed the significance of a longitudinal monitoring framework and reinforces the need for policy-driven farmer education and improved feed management practices to enhance milk safety and public health.
