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

In this study, a total of 1253 dried fig samples were analyzed for aflatoxin contamination. 838 samples were collected during 2024, and 415 samples were collected during 2025 from different export companies in Aydın province in Turkey. Analyzes were carried out in an accredited laboratory operating in Aydın province and the HPLC-FLD method was used. While 172 (50.2%) of 838 dried fig samples examined in 2024 contained aflatoxin in the range of 0.43–60.73 µg/kg, 81 (19.5%) of 415 samples examined in 2025 contained aflatoxin in the range of 0.87–40.08 µg/kg. When 2024 and 2025 were evaluated together, detectable levels of aflatoxin were detected in a total of 253 dried fig samples, and 29 of them were found above the EU upper limits. The sample rate exceeding the EU upper limit on the basis of total fig samples is 2.2% and 2.7% for 2024 and 2025, respectively.
