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

Environmental matrices (EMs) are important reservoirs for the human bocavirus (HBoV). This study aimed to determine HBoV prevalence in EMs and model its association with SDG6.3.1 (wastewater production (WWp), collection (WWc), treatment (WWt), and reuse (WWr)). HBoV data-mined from EMs were fitted to a random-intercept-logistic regression/1000-bootstrapped-based meta-regressions. HBoV global prevalence in EMs was 42.19% (95%CI: 28.07-57.72), and varied non-statistically across continents (North America (66.59%), Africa (42.32%), Europe (41.95%), Asia (39.96%), South America (20.55%)), economies (high-income (45.04%) > upper-middle-income (42.56%) > lower-middle-income (41.35%)), WHO regions (Western Europe (41.95%) > Middle East & North Africa (41.35%) > East Asia & Pacific (39.96%) > North America (66.59%) > Latin America & Caribbean (20.55%)) but significantly across dwelling settings (urban: 52.02% versus rural: 20.29%) and sample types (raw sewage (RS, 73.16%) > treated sewage (TS, 43.47%) > sewage sludge (SS, 19.87%) > sediment (13.24%) > surface waters (18.55%)). HBoV subtypes circulating in EMs varied among sample types (HBoV1 in TS (40.74%) > RS (22.45%) > surface water (9.09%); HBoV2 in RS (75.42%) > TS (54.82%) > surface water (18.24%); HBoV3 in RS (64.74%) > TS (58.95%) > surface water (6.48%) > SS (3.49%)). HBoV prevalence in EMs had direct relationship (p ≤ 0.05) with SDG6.3.1 variables (WWp: F
