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 is a promising tool to monitor potential outbreaks and determine the disease burden within a community. This system has been extensively used to monitor polio and COVID-19 infection levels, yet few attempts have been made to apply it to monitoring pathogenic yeast. This study aimed to investigate the application of wastewater surveillance for potentially pathogenic yeast in wastewater treatment plant influent. This was done by comparing culture-dependent data with culture-independent data and investigating the fluconazole concentration in wastewater. Additional studies on the growth of isolated strains were conducted. We found that a multiplex PCR system to detect multiple yeasts holds promise as a molecular detection tool for wastewater surveillance. Culture-dependent results indicated that
