Environmental dissemination of pathogenic Listeria monocytogenes in flowing surface waters in Switzerland.
Article in Scientific reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 34 papers.
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
Listeria monocytogenes is an opportunistic pathogen that is widely distributed in the environment. The aquatic environment may represent a potential source for the transmission of L. monocytogenes to animals and the food chain. The present study assessed the occurrence of L. monocytogenes in 191 surface water samples from rivers, streams and inland canals throughout Switzerland. Twenty-five (13%) of the surface water samples contained L. monocytogenes. Whole genome sequence (WGS) data were used to characterize the 25 isolates. The isolates belonged to major lineages I and II, with the majority assigned to either serotype 1/2a (48%), or 4b (44%). The predominant CCs identified were the hypervirulent serotype 4b clones CC1 and CC4, and the serotype CC412; all three have been implicated in listeriosis outbreaks and sporadic cases of human and animal infection worldwide. Two (8%) of the isolates belonged to CC6 which is an emerging hypervirulent clone. All isolates contained intact genes associated with invasion and infection, including inlA/B and prfA. The four CC4 isolates all harbored Listeria pathogenicity island 4 (LIPI-4), which confers hypervirulence. The occurrence of L. monocytogenes in river ecosystems may contribute to the dissemination and introduction of clinically highly relevant strains to the food chain.
