Migration of Diethyl-Hexyl-Phthalate from Plastic Containers and Oak Casks to Tequila During Long-Term Storage and Aging.
Article in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Tequila is frequently stored or aged in polymer containers and oak casks, which can enable the migration of phthalates such as di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), an endocrine-disrupting chemical. We quantified DEHP in tequila (55% ethanol) stored in LDPE tanks, HDPE jerry cans, PET carboys, and French oak casks with and without thermal treatment during long-term storage/aging (up to 18 and 11 months, respectively). Monthly samples were extracted and analyzed by GC-MS. Migration kinetics were evaluated using empirical exponential/sigmoidal models and an analytical solution of Fick's second law for a semi-infinite slab. In plastics, DEHP increased nonlinearly and was best described by a modified Gompertz model, exhibiting a lag phase up to 42 days (~month 2), maximum transfer rates (Rmax) up to 0.82 µg L
