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

Foods contaminated with fungal mycotoxins pose a serious risk to human health. Soy and other legumes are a vital source of alternative protein, yet the rates of mycotoxin contamination are not understood. We therefore developed a sensitive stable-isotope-dilution-differential-ion-mobility-spectrometry-LC-MS method for the quantification of 43 mycotoxins in soylike matrixes. Extraction by QuEChERS-d-SPE-PSA reduced matrix effects, while Differential-Ion-Mobility-Spectrometry (DMS) decreased background-noise and enabled the selective quantification of acetyl-deoxynivalenol (ACDON) isomers. Careful parameter selection was required since 3-ACDON produced tautomeric ion-mobility peaks. Mycotoxins were rarely found in whole soybeans, with only 3 out of 13 samples containing tentoxin, tenuazonic acid, or altenuene. However, mycotoxins were found in 52% non-soy legumes, 58% soy-protein powders, and 100% soy-milk samples including infant formulas.
