Presence of Potentially Infectious Human Enteric Viruses and Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Mussels from the Campania Region, Italy: Implications for Consumer's Safety.
Article in Food and environmental virology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
This study presents a comprehensive assessment of viral contamination and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) presence in mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) (n = 60) collected from retail stores in the Campania region (Italy). High prevalence of human noroviruses (HuNoV) genogroup I (GI) (77%) and genogroup II (GII) (40%), rotaviruses (RV) (60%), and astroviruses (HAstV) (25%) was found, with average levels of 4.34, 5.09, 5.05, and 4.00 Log genome copies (GC)/g, respectively. All samples tested negative for hepatitis A and E viruses. Viral faecal contamination indicators, including somatic coliphages (88%, 3.62 mean Log plaque forming units (PFU)/100 g) and crAssphage (50%, 3.72 mean Log GC/g), showed strong correlations (ρ > 0.65, p-value < 0.05) with HuNoV GII, HAstV, and RV concentrations in mussels. The study also investigated the presence of respiratory viruses, with all samples testing negative for SARS-CoV-2, respiratory syncytial virus, and influenza A virus.Furthermore, a capsid-integrity RT-qPCR assay was applied to selected positive samples, confirming the presence of potentially infectious viruses and underscoring the associated risks to consumers.Additionally, ARGs were detected by qPCR, targeting beta-lactams, quinolones, and chloramphenicol resistance genes in both the total and the bacteriophage fractions of selected samples.Overall, this study emphasizes the importance of continued surveillance and strategic interventions to mitigate public health risks associated with the consumption of contaminated bivalve molluscan shellfish (BMS), which may imply the dissemination of infectious enteric viruses and ARGs within communities.
