The Application of Bacteriophage Diagnostics for Bacterial Pathogens in the Agricultural Supply Chain: From Farm-to-Fork.
Review in PHAGE (New Rochelle, N.Y.), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Bacteriophages (phages) have great potential not only as therapeutics but as diagnostics. Indeed, they have been developed and used to diagnose and detect bacterial infections, primarily in human clinical settings. The ability to rapidly detect and control bacterial pathogens in agriculture is of primary importance to maintain food security, improve animal health, and prevent the passage of zoonotic pathogens into the human population. Culture-based detection methods are often labor-intensive, and require further confirmatory tests, increasing costs and processing times needed for diagnostics. Molecular detection methods such as polymerase chain reaction are commonly used to determine the safety of food, however, a major drawback is their inability to differentiate between viable and nonviable bacterial pathogens in food. Phage diagnostics have been proven to be rapid, capable of identifying viable pathogens and do not require cultivation to detect bacteria. Phage detection takes advantage of the specificity of interaction between phage and their hosts. Furthermore, phage detection is cost effective, which is vitally important in agricultural supply chains where there is a drive to keep costs down to ensure that the cost of food does not increase. The full potential of phage detection/diagnostics is not wholly realized or commercialized. This review explores the current use and potential future scope of phage diagnostics and their application to various bacterial pathogens across agriculture and food supply chains.
