Integrated multiomic wastewater-based epidemiology can elucidate population-level dietary behaviour and inform public health nutrition assessments.
Article in Nature food, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Population-level nutritional assessments often rely on self-reported data, which increases the risk of recall bias. Here, we demonstrate that wastewater-based epidemiology can be used for near real-time population dietary assessments. Neighbourhood-level, untreated wastewater samples were collected monthly from within an urban population in the south-western United States from August 2017 to July 2019. Using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, we identify recurring seasonal dynamics in phytoestrogen consumption, including dietary changes linked to the winter holiday season. Using 16S ribosomal RNA gene amplicon sequencing, we demonstrated the feasibility of detecting sewage-derived human gut bacterial taxa involved in phytoestrogen metabolism, including Bifidobacterium, Blautia and Romboutsia. Combined metabolomic and genomic wastewater analysis can inform nutritional assessments at population scale, indicating wastewater-based epidemiology as a promising tool for actionable and cost-effective data collection to support public health nutrition.
