Occurrence of major mycotoxins in noncorn forages for dairy cattle: A survey of silages and hays from Italian farms.
Article in JDS communications, 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
The occurrence of mycotoxins in ruminant feeds has been traditionally linked to corn silage, but alternative forages such as cereal straw, grass silages, sorghum, and legume hays may also contribute to exposure. We investigated the main regulated mycotoxins in 977 forage samples from Italian farms, including 642 silages (wheat, grasses, sorghum) and 335 hays (wheat straw, grasses, alfalfa). Samples were analyzed for deoxynivalenol, zearalenone (ZEN), and total fumonisins (FUM) using accredited methods. Noncorn forages were not exempt from contamination, showing variable prevalence and concentrations depending on forage type and botanical origin. Deoxynivalenol was the most prevalent, ZEN showed moderate prevalence with rising concentrations in recent years, and FUM occurred less frequently but with occasional and not significant high levels. These findings highlight the need for continuous monitoring of all forage types, suggesting that mycotoxin risk assessment in dairy diets should extend beyond corn silage.
