Frequency of anticholinesterase insecticide positive samples in non-target animals in Thailand.
Article in BMC veterinary 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
backgroundAnticholinesterase insecticides (antiChE), including organophosphates and carbamates, are widely used to control crop pests in agriculture, household pests, and animal parasites, making them a potential source of poisoning in both humans and animals. This retrospective study aimed to document the frequency of antiChE positive samples in animal specimens analysed at the Department of Veterinary Pharmacology, Faculty of Veterinary Science, Chulalongkorn University from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2024 using a cholinesterase kit based on Ellman’s method, to raise awareness and mitigate the risk to non-target animals.
resultsDuring the study period, specimens from 61 animal cases involving accidental or environmental exposure were submitted for antiChE detection. Of these, 16 cases (26.2%) tested positive. Dogs accounted for the majority of positive cases (11/16; 68.75%), followed by chickens (2/16; 12.5%), cats (2/16; 12.5%), and one duck (1/16; 6.25%). Stomach ingesta were the most frequently submitted specimens and consistently yielded antiChE positive results in confirmed cases.
conclusionThis study underscores the ongoing risk of cholinesterase inhibitors in domestic animals and avian species, which are non-target of these compounds. The cholinesterase kit proved to be a useful screening tool, particularly when ingestion was not directly observed. Stomach ingesta specimens were the most reliable sample type for detecting antiChE poisoning. This study provided reference data for future research on antiChE toxicosis among non-target species.
