Safety of Commercial Cod Products and Potential Impact on Consumers.
Article in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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 study examines the safety of commercial cod products by analysing the elemental profile and biogenic amine content of ten types of cod (fresh and processed) purchased in Messina and determining the intake of inorganic elements. The results demonstrate the influence of processing techniques on the content of essential and toxic elements, as well as biogenic amines, in processed products compared to fresh products. Histamine content was consistently below the permitted maximum. All species were found to be good sources of macronutrients (Ca, K, Mg, P and Na) and moderate sources of certain micronutrients (Fe, Zn, Cu and Se). However, some toxic elements (Cd and As) showed high concentrations, often exceeding reference limits. Assuming an average daily cod consumption of 100 g, some products exceeded the daily requirement for certain inorganic elements (As, Na, P, Se). Therefore, reducing the daily intake of these products would be advisable to mitigate potential toxicological risks. These findings help to define the safety profile of cod-based products, which are now commonly present in our diet. They also confirm the need for constant monitoring to ensure consumer protection in an ever-evolving market.
