1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Mycotoxins contaminate a wide range of foods and may contribute to both acute toxicity and chronic dietary exposure. Because online video increasingly shapes public interpretation of food-safety hazards, we evaluated the quality of English-language YouTube™ content on foodborne mycotoxin risks. Of 166 records screened for eligibility, 53 were excluded and 113 videos were analyzed. Two food-safety experts independently evaluated each video with an investigator-developed Video Content Quality (VCQ) checklist, the Global Quality Scale (GQS), and a five-item modified DISCERN instrument. The final sample comprised 77 company/commercial and 36 academic/noncommercial videos. After Holm adjustment across five source-group outcomes, company/commercial videos had higher VCQ and modified DISCERN scores (both adjusted
