Assessing the safety of two organosulfur compounds derived from onion in western honey bee (Apis mellifera).
Article in Scientific reports, 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 work aims to analyse the toxicity of propyl-propane thiosulfinate (PTS) and propyl-propane thiosulfonate (PTSO), two organosulfur compounds, in long-lived winter (also known as diutinus bees) and short-lived spring honey bees. Acute toxicity assays were performed by contact and oral exposure, using the insecticide dimethoate as toxic standard. These compounds are derived from Allium cepa and have previously reported antimicrobial and weak insecticidal activity, and their potential use in crop protection requires a honeybee risk assessment under the new EFSA pollinator protection guidelines. Additionally, the concentrations at which honey bees do not voluntarily ingest each compound were assessed through an antifeedant activity test. In both cohorts, the LD
