Literature horizon scan for new scientific data on plants, microorganisms and animals, and their products obtained by new genomic techniques (October 2025).

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 European Food Safety Authority has issued several scientific opinions on plants, microorganisms and animals obtained through certain new genomic techniques (NGTs), following requests received by the European Commission. These scientific opinions provided considerations on the potential risks associated with NGTs, as compared to conventional breeding techniques and established genomic techniques (EGTs), and on the applicability of existing guidelines for the risk assessment of plants, microorganisms and animals obtained by NGTs and products thereof. Against this background, EFSA was asked by the European Commission 'to provide scientific and technical assistance for a regular horizon scanning to assess new scientific data on plants, microorganisms and animals, and products thereof obtained by new genomic techniques', to assess any new data and evidence emerging from these studies, and to consider whether it may have implications for EFSA's relevant scientific opinions. A critical assessment of the quality and relevance of these studies should also be conducted, and biannual reports delivered to the Commission. This report presents the outcome of the literature search on new scientific data on plants, microorganisms and animals and products thereof obtained by NGTs, performed as described in the protocol made available for public consultation in May-June 2025. The report describes search strategies and inclusion/exclusion criteria applied for literature review and presents the results of the assessment performed for new scientific data (published up to October 2025) on plants, microorganisms and animals and products thereof obtained by NGTs. The report discusses the limitations of the search and provides recommendations for improvement. EFSA concluded that none of the studies retrieved by the literature search contained new hazards or risks not previously considered in EFSA scientific opinions.
