Predominance of L. monocytogenes Lineage I Clones in Wastewater, Ruminants, and Natural Environments.
Article in Environmental microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Listeria monocytogenes is a saprophytic bacterium and a foodborne pathogen of humans and animals. Little is known about its distribution and genetic diversity across different environments within the same geographical region. We conducted a large-scale longitudinal study in southeastern Spain monitoring Listeria spp. in untreated wastewater, ruminant farms, and natural environments over four seasons (N = 1490 samples, N = 545 isolates) and in food and food-processing environments (N = 7395 samples, N = 255 isolates). Listeria spp. were more abundant in host-associated than natural environments, and non-pathogenic Listeria were more prevalent than L. monocytogenes in both niches. L. monocytogenes was detected in 42.7%, 11.4%, 4.2%, and 3.4% of wastewater, ruminant farms, natural environments, and food-related samples, respectively. Hypervirulent lineage I accounted for 82.9% of L. monocytogenes isolates from wastewater, ruminant farms, and natural environments, while lineage II represented 74.1% in food-related samples. Among 255 L. monocytogenes cgMLST types, 5% were shared across environments, demonstrating circulation between different environments. Persistent L. monocytogenes clones were detected in food processing environments and ruminant farms. Our data suggest anthropogenic activities and livestock drive Listeria spp. dissemination. These results provide insights into the interactions of Listeria spp. in the environment, improving surveillance strategies to reduce pathogen transmission, food contamination, and clinical cases.
