Stability and infectivity of enteroviruses on dry surfaces: Potential for indirect transmission control.
Article in Biosafety and health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a contagious disease mainly occurring in young children, and outbreaks commonly occur among young children in the Asia-Pacific region including Thailand. Moreover, the World Health Organization (WHO) monitors HFMD in the Western Pacific region to detect outbreaks and other significant events by the Regional Event Based Surveillance System. HFMD is mainly caused by a group of enteroviruses (EVs) transmitted through direct contact (person to person) and indirect contact with contaminated objects (surface-to-hand). However, few studies have examined the surface stability of EVs. In this study, we investigated the stability of enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) and coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16) on three different dry surfaces (wood, plastic, and stainless steel) using the endpoint titration using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) staining of viable cells and real-time polymerase chain reaction (viral genome detection). The results revealed that virus infectivity dramatically decreased within a few hours on dry surfaces. However, viral RNA could be detected on dry surfaces for up to 28 days. Concerning heat inactivation, both EV-A71 and CVA16 were inactivated after exposure to 60°C for 15 min. Information on virus stability on different dry surfaces will provide useful information for HFMD transmission control.
