Occurrence of PFAS in Cow's Milk: A Comparative Study of Swedish Farms near Contaminated Sites and Regional Dairy Production Facilities.
Article in Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 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
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent pollutants that raise food safety concerns, especially near contamination hotspots. This study measured 9 PFAS in milk and 15 PFAS in water from 22 Swedish dairy farms <10 km from contamination hotspots and 49 PFAS in milk from 20 regional production facilities. PFOA, PFOS, and PFNA were quantified in 5-77% of milk from dairy farms, with maximum levels of 18, 17, and 10 pg/g milk ww, respectively; the remaining PFAS were below method detection limits (MDL). All PFAS were < MDL at production facilities. One dairy farm milk sample exceeded EU's indicative level for PFOA (10 pg/g), but levels in production facilities suggest limited consumer exposure. No correlation was found between PFAS in farm water and milk, implying other exposure routes may dominate when water contamination is low. While results indicate limited health risks, contamination in other milk-producing regions cannot be ruled out, supporting the need for continued PFAS monitoring in dairy production.
