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

Maize is susceptible to mycotoxin contamination throughout harvesting, storage, and processing, which poses potential risks to human health and livestock production. This review summarizes the occurrence, toxicological mechanisms, and contamination dynamics of major mycotoxins commonly detected in maize, including aflatoxins (AFs), ochratoxin A (OTA), zearalenone (ZEN), fumonisins (FBs), and deoxynivalenol (DON). We further examine their distribution and accumulation patterns across the maize production chain, from pre-harvest to processing. During the pre-harvest period, toxin accumulation is largely governed by climatic conditions and agricultural practices; during storage, toxin levels may escalate under conducive conditions, while processing is primarily associated with toxin redistribution and transformation. Based on these insights, we compare the applicability and limitations of physical, chemical, and biological detoxification strategies, with particular emphasis on biological approaches because of their high specificity and mild operating conditions, while recognizing challenges associated with scalability and practical application.
