1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 study assessed the contamination levels and health risk of aflatoxins in nuts from the markets in Jordan. A total of 180 nut samples (pistachios, almonds, walnuts, and cashews) were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) following immunoaffinity column clean-up and QuEChERS extraction. Aflatoxins were detected in 13 % of the samples, with pistachios showing the highest contamination rate. The Estimated Daily Intake (EDI) and Margin of Exposure (MOE) were calculated using deterministic risk assessment methods, based on the mean contamination levels and average nut consumption patterns in Jordan. All MOE values were below the safety threshold of 10,000, indicating a potential health risk. These findings emphasize the need for strengthened monitoring programs and regulatory actions to ensure food safety and minimize the public health risk.
