Cooking-Derived Organic Compounds Shape Bacterial Communities on Household Surfaces.

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
Understanding the factors influencing chemical and biological constituent accumulation on indoor surfaces is crucial, especially as individuals spend approximately 90% of their time indoors and frequently interact with these surfaces. However, the temporal relationships between these constituents remain unclear, as most field studies have relied on single-time snapshots and seldom examined the interplay between chemical and biological dynamics. We conducted a month-long spatiotemporal field study across 20 households in Hong Kong to investigate the factors influencing chemical and biological constituents on common indoor surfaces. Among the 16 household- and occupant-related factors analyzed, routine oil-based cooking was the primary driver of microbial diversity and composition on indoor surfaces. Surfaces in kitchens with frequent cooking exhibited elevated total organic carbon levels, which were linked to an increased bacterial abundance. A focused analysis of six kitchens with well-controlled frequencies of oil-based cooking revealed that cooking-derived organic compounds, particularly alkanes, promoted bacterial abundance while reducing microbial diversity. Network analysis further revealed strong interactions between these organic compounds and bacterial taxa, especially those within the
