Infectivity duration of HCoV-OC43, a surrogate for SARS-CoV-2, in artificial bodily fluids on stainless steel simulating common nonporous 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
We investigated the infectivity and persistence of SARS-CoV-2 on environmental surfaces by enlisting human beta-coronavirus OC43 as a surrogate. This study evaluated its stability on nonporous stainless steel surfaces under two absolute humidity (AH) conditions when embedded in three mucin concentrations to mimic natural contamination with bodily fluids commonly occurring in healthcare environments.Stainless steel coupons were inoculated with OC43 in artificial saliva with mucin concentrations of 0%, 0.3%, and 3% (wt/vol) and held in a controlled environmental chamber at AH 14.4 g/m
