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

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is present in both respiratory secretions and feces, creating its potential for transmission by swimming pools. Recreational water activity is known to be at increased risk of respiratory infections and respiratory viruses have caused been detected and have caused outbreaks in swimming pools. However, little is known regarding the chlorine inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 in water typical of swimming pools in the USA. In this study, the inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 Isolate hCoV-19/USA-WA1/2020 was observed in water by chlorination. All experiments were conducted within a BSL-3 laboratory at room temperature. Our results show that the virus was reduced by 3.5 log (> 99.9%) after 30 s of 2.05-mg/L free chlorine contact and greater than 4.17 log (limit of detection) (> 99.99%) within 2 min.
