Wastewater-Based Tracking SARS-CoV-2 RNA and Estimating Infected Population in Industrial Setting After Songkran Festival-Thailand Traditional New Year in 2023.
Article in Food and environmental virology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Monitoring SARS-CoV-2 RNA in industrial wastewater has emerged as a potential approach to indirectly identify infected individuals within workplace populations. However, wastewater-based surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in industrial settings has not previously been conducted in Thailand. This study aimed to qualitatively and quantitatively detect SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater discharged from onsite wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and to estimate the number of infected individuals. A total of 120 wastewater samples were consecutively collected from 40 onsite WWTPs comprising 38 factories and two non-factory buildings with over a three-month period (April to June 2023), after the Songkran festival, Thailand's traditional new year celebration. Wastewater samples were concentrated, and the total nucleic acids were extracted. SARS-CoV-2 RNA concentrations were determined by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) targeting the N gene. SARS-CoV-2 RNA was detected in 42.5%, 62.5%, and 40.0% of samples collected in April, May, and June, respectively. The concentrations ranged from 3.5 × 10
