Transfer of veterinary parasiticides from the fur lining bird's nest to eggs and chicks.
Article in Environmental science and pollution research international, 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
Previously we have found that spot-on insecticides commonly applied to dogs and cats to deter ticks and fleas contaminate lining of great tit and blue tit nests via birds using fur to line their nests. Here we describe significant positive correlations between pesticide concentrations found in the nest lining fur and those in unhatched eggs and dead chicks from the same nests, indicating that these compounds transfer from contaminated nesting material into avian tissues. This study advances our understanding of how environmental contamination from domestic sources may directly impact wildlife health and development. It highlights the need for improved environmental risk assessment for veterinary products intended for use on companion animals, and more specifically the need to determine whether the exposure we identify lead to impacts on bird health in the short or long term.
