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

Wastewater surveillance for monitoring severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is an important epidemiologic tool for the assessment of population-wide coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This tool can be successfully implemented only if SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater can be accurately recovered and quantified. The lack of standardized procedure for wastewater virus analysis has resulted in varying SARS-CoV-2 concentrations for the same sample. This study reports the effect of 4 key factors-sample volume, percentage polyethylene glycol (PEG)-NaCl, incubation period, and storage duration at 4°C-on the recovery of spiked noninfectious SARS-CoV-2 RNA in raw sewage and sludge samples. N1 and N2 genes of SARS-CoV-2 were quantified using the reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and digital droplet PCR (RT-ddPCR) techniques. Results indicate that
