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
backgroundOrganochlorine pesticides (OCPs) are persistent environmental contaminants that can accumulate in animal-derived foods and pose potential risks to human health. This study aimed to investigate the presence, concentration, and potential health risks of selected OCP residues in raw goat milk collected from dairy farms in Kastamonu, Türkiye.
methodsRaw goat milk samples were collected from 20 goat farms located in urban and rural areas of Kastamonu province. A total of 23 OCP compounds were screened using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Detected residues were compared with established maximum residue limits (MRLs), and potential non-carcinogenic health risks were assessed using hazard quotient (HQ) and hazard index (HI) values.
resultsAmong the analyzed compounds, β-endosulfan, methoxychlor, and p,p'-DDE were detected in the samples. Methoxychlor was the most frequently detected compound, present in 70% of the samples, with concentrations exceeding the MRL in 13 of the 14 positive samples. β-Endosulfan and p,p'-DDE were detected in four samples each but remained below their respective MRLs. A statistically significant difference between urban and rural farms was observed only for β-endosulfan (p = 0.015). Health risk assessment indicated that HQ values for β-endosulfan (0.0031), methoxychlor (0.0159), and p,p'-DDE (5.29 × 10
conclusionAlthough OCP residues were detected, the estimated exposure levels suggest no significant non-carcinogenic health risk for consumers. However, the detection of banned pesticides highlights their environmental persistence and emphasizes the need for continuous monitoring and environmental surveillance.
