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

The production of hydroponic fresh produce presents unique food safety and intervention challenges. A systematic approach was used to map and characterize the evidence on hydroponic food safety. Quantitative data describing the effectiveness of intervention studies were extracted, synthesized, and assessed for quality. A search of electronic databases yielded 131 relevant papers related to hydroponic food safety. Thirty-two studies focusing on food safety interventions reported 53 different interventions using chemical (n = 39), physical (n = 10), multiple-hurdle (n = 2), and biological (n = 2) approaches. Human pathogen indicators and surrogates were most often studied (n = 19), while pathogenic strains like
