Beyond Microbiological Analysis: The Essential Role of Risk Assessment in Travel-Associated Legionnaires' Disease Outbreak Investigations.
Article in Pathogens (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 4 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
Between April and May 2025, an outbreak of travel-associated Legionnaires' disease (TALD) occurred, involving six cases at a hotel in Crete, Greece. Including two cases reported in 2023 and two additional cases from 2016 to 2017, ten cases were associated with this accommodation site. All TALD cases were reported by the European Legionnaires' Disease Surveillance Network (ELDSNet). In compliance with the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) surveillance and investigation protocols for hotels associated with the patient's stay, local public health authorities conducted on-site inspections at the hotel by collecting water samples and performing risk assessments, while simultaneously recording the required epidemiological, environmental, and physicochemical data. A total of 181 statistically analyzed water samples showed positive rates for
