Food safety in the production of olive oils. Presence of heavy metals and phthalic acid esters using different types of packaging.

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
This work aims to enhance the food safety of olive oils by detecting critical points where contamination can be generated by heavy metals and phthalic acid esters (PAEs). Samples of commercial oils were collected from the Spanish market during the 2021/2022 and 2022/2023 campaigns and stored in different packagings (glass, polyethylene terephthalate, tin can, porcelain, aluminum and cardboard). This was performed to establish the possible influence of the packaging material on the presence of contaminating compounds, concretely PAEs and heavy metals. Oils from different categories (extra virgin, virgin, olive oil, and olive pomace oil) were also acquired. Determination of PAEs contents revealed the presence of Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), Di-isobutyl phthalate and Di-isononyl phthalate. DEHP was detected in 6 out of 18 samples, with concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 0.23 mg/kg. Phthalates, particularly DEHP were most commonly found in PET, but also in glass, porcelain, and cardboard containers. In relation to heavy metals, copper was detected in all tested samples, exceeding the standard in samples of extra virgin in glass and porcelain containers, as well as in olive pomace oil (in PET), with concentrations varying from 0.04 to 0.18 mg/kg oil. Notably, antimony ions were absent in all the tested containers.
