A simulation model to quantify the efficacy of dry cleaning interventions on a contaminated milk powder line.
Article in Applied and environmental microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Outbreaks of IMPORTANCE: This work demonstrates the utility of modeling as a decision support tool to (i) estimate Salmonella cross-contamination into product under different scenarios, (ii) compare different cleaning interventions, and (iii) help inform the selection of a Salmonella surrogate for cleaning validation studies. Risk models can describe the tradeoffs associated with different dry cleaning strategies in low moisture food environments. For example, the model presented in this study can estimate the differences in product contamination as a consequence of flushing a processing line with increasing quantities of material. Additionally, outputs from this model can be used to evaluate the risk of cross-contamination from a contaminated dry cleaning tool. Finally, comparing outputs from a simulation model is an alternative method for comparing Salmonella surrogates used in dry cleaning validation. Simulation model outputs (i.e., prevalence and concentration of contaminated units) may be more broadly interpretable than comparing transfer coefficients alone, enhancing decision support.
