Public Health Response to Consecutive Hepatitis A Detections in Wastewater, North Carolina, 2024.
Article in Public health reports (Washington, D.C. : 1974), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Wastewater monitoring is a useful tool to complement case-based surveillance. A hepatitis A virus (HAV) investigation in North Carolina demonstrated that wastewater monitoring detections preceded identification of 2 clinical cases by 12 days. State and local health officials used a preestablished decision tree to respond to wastewater detections of HAV and implement public health actions. The investigation determined that HAV detected in wastewater was likely from 2 people who had not yet developed symptoms or sought testing at the time of detection, providing early information for public health response, including vaccination of family members. Targeted outreach to hospitals as well as medically or socially vulnerable groups at high risk of HAV infection could be recommended in response to consistent HAV detections in wastewater.
