Occurrence of mycotoxins contamination in commercial feline and canine foods from China.
Article 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
Mycotoxins are widely present in commercial pet food and pose significant risks to pet health. This study evaluated the contamination status of 18 mycotoxins in 126 commercially available feline and canine foods collected from online and offline markets in China between 2021 and 2023, using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). Eight mycotoxins were detected, with fumonisin B1 (FB1) showing the highest occurrence (97.26% in canine food and 94.34% in feline food), at mean concentrations ranging from 886.1 to 903.88 µg/kg, followed by zearalenone (ZEN) (95.89% in canine food and 90.57% in feline food; mean concentrations 410.2 and 459.02 µg/kg). Co-occurrence analysis showed that 95.89% of canine and 92.46% of feline foods contained two or more mycotoxins, and detection of six mycotoxins within a single product was most common (42.42% in canine food and 35.85% in feline food). Regression analysis indicated that lower retail prices and the inclusion of corn were associated with higher ZEN exceeding regulatory limit rates, whereas higher crude fiber content was inversely correlated with ZEN contamination. These findings demonstrate the widespread presence of mycotoxins in Chinese pet foods and underscore the need for strengthened monitoring and raw material quality control to safeguard companion animal health.
