The Efficacy of Commercial Surface Sanitizers against Norovirus on Formica Surfaces with and without Inclusion of a Wiping Step.
Article in Applied and environmental microbiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Commonly used surface sanitizers often lack activity against human noroviruses (hNoVs). The impact of inactivation versus removal when these products are applied via wiping is poorly characterized. The purpose of this work was to assess the anti-hNoV efficacy of various surface sanitizer chemistries, as applied to a laminate material commonly used for restaurant tabletops, using standard surface assays (ASTM E1053-11) and a newly developed wiping protocol. Four commercially available products with different active ingredient(s) (i.e., ethanol [EtOH], acid + anionic surfactant [AAS], quaternary ammonium compound [QAC], and sodium hypochlorite [NaOCl]) and a water control were evaluated against hNoV GII.4 Sydney, hNoV GI.6, and the cultivable surrogate Tulane virus (TuV). Virus concentration was evaluated using RNase-reverse transcriptase (RT)-quantitative PCR (qPCR) (hNoV) and infectivity assay (TuV). Only the EtOH-based product significantly reduced virus concentration (>3.5 log
