Current status of aflatoxin contamination and mitigation efforts in mozambique: a systematic review.
Synthesis 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
Aflatoxin continues to be a major problem for public health and trade in Mozambique. The use of products and sub-products based on maize, cassava, and groundnuts, which are susceptible to aflatoxin contamination is one of the main causes. This systematic review provides an overview of the current state of aflatoxin contamination and mitigation efforts in Mozambique. The study reviewed scientific articles published between 1st January 2004 and 31st July 2024 in peer reviewed journals, after conducting the evaluation process, 667 articles were excluded, and 68 articles fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were included in this review. Based on these included articles, progressive research has taken place over the years looking for solutions to control aflatoxins throughout the crop value chain in Mozambique. However, aflatoxin contamination of products across the country remains high. The Aspergillus section Flavi species reported in the country are A. flavus (L morphotype), A. parasiticus, A. flavus (S morphotype) and A. tamarii. Although some S morphotypes (SB and SBG) such as A. texensis, A. toxicus, and A. minisclerotigenes have been also identified there are still no in-depth studies. Unless such species are studied, biological control efforts in the country will be impacted.
