An Update on Mycotoxins in Bee Pollen.
Review in Toxins, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
For centuries, bee pollen has been known for its medicinal value and regarded as a rich source of bioactive compounds, including essential nutrients and phytochemicals. Its putative therapeutic and health-promoting benefits include antioxidant, antibacterial, anticarcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, hypoglycaemic, and numerous additional properties. However, the beneficial qualities can only be guaranteed if potential contaminants do not detract from its superfood image. Recent research has indicated frequent occurrence of mycotoxins in bee pollen, occasionally at concentration levels exceeding safe intakes. There are very few published publications in the literature related to the research of mycotoxin concentrations in bee pollen. Based on that, the aim of this review is to provide an overview update of existing scientific research on the presence, prevalence and types of mycotoxins in bee pollen, with particular emphasis on toxins produced by fungi. Furthermore, the aim is to compile the available data on mycotoxin contamination of pollen in order to identify factors relevant to the safety and quality of bee pollen as a food product and dietary supplement.
