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 data presented in this article show SARS-CoV-2 viral concentration and trends in wastewater among communities with different population size. Particularly, the data show that wastewater SARS-CoV-2 concentration can better predict COVID-19 transmission in communities than clinical data. The article also reports PMMoV data in wastewater and population data in each community, and their effects on the correlation between wastewater SARS-CoV-2 and clinical COVID-19 data. The wastewater and clinical data reported in this article are collected from 7 students' housing communities with population ranging between 300 and 4000 residents per community. The dataset presents SARS-CoV-2 N2 and E gene as well as PMMoV concentrations in the raw wastewater samples collected from 13 sewer manholes at these communities roughly three times per week for a period of 6-months between December 2021 and June 2022. This dataset will help to 1) improve future wastewater based epidemiological models, 2) improve understanding on PMMoV concentration ranges in wastewater at low population communities, 3) develop methods to support data interpretation, and 4) understand the effects of spatial scales on sampling frequency and infection outbreak detection.
