Diversity and toxigenic potential of Aspergillus section Flavi strains associated with maize and its main by-products in northern Côte d'Ivoire.

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
Maize is a staple food in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa, and is very often prone to contamination by mycotoxins, particularly aflatoxins, which are known for their harmful effects on human and animal health. This study aimed to investigate the diversity and toxigenic potential of Aspergillus section Flavi strains associated with maize and its main by-products in the Korhogo region of northern Côte d'Ivoire. A total of 50 samples were collected, including 10 maize ears, 22 stored grains, 8 cracked maize and 10 maize flours. The analysis was carried out using a polyphasic approach comprising morphological and molecular characterisation, and aflatoxin production. A total of 151 isolates were recovered including genera Aspergillus, Fusarium, Penicillium and Rhizopus. Six Aspergillus species were identified: A. flavus (64 strains), A. niger (17 strains), A. tamarii (6 strains), A. luchuensis (6 strains), A. fumigatus (4 strains), and A. aflatoxiformans (1 strain). Aspergillus flavus was the most represented in the section Flavi, accounting for 90.1% of the strains, followed by A. tamarii (8.5%) and A. aflatoxiformans (1.4%). Among the A. flavus strains, 67.2% were aflatoxigenic, producing aflatoxins B, whereas 32.8% were non-aflatoxigenic. The A. aflatoxiformans strain produced aflatoxin B
