Isolation of Alpha-Toxin-Deficient Clostridium perfringens Type F from Sewage Influents and Effluents.
Article in Microbiology spectrum, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Clostridium perfringens is classified into types A to G, and all types produce alpha-toxins; however, C. perfringens type F that is negative for phospholipase C (PLC) activity of alpha-toxin has been isolated from the environment and cases of humans afflicted by food poisoning. This study aimed to elucidate the distribution of PLC-negative C. perfringens type F in sewage influents and effluents. Influents and effluents of two wastewater treatment plants were collected monthly between July 2016 and January 2020 and between August 2018 and January 2020, respectively. Isolation rates of PLC-negative C. perfringens type F from sewage influents and effluents were 38% (33/86) and 22% (8/36), and the numbers of isolates were 43 and 13, respectively. The locus of the enterotoxin gene of all isolates was determined to be in a plasmid with an IS
