1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Human norovirus (HuNoV) is the leading cause of foodborne illnesses in the U.S. Fresh produce, often consumed raw, can serve as a vehicle for HuNoV transmission; however, limited data exist on its persistence in agricultural environments. This study evaluated the persistence of HuNoV GII, its cultivable surrogate Tulane virus, and Escherichia coli TVS 353 in sandy Florida agricultural soil. Soil samples with or without additional cilantro leaves (to simulate decaying plant debris) were incubated at 12 °C and tested for microbial concentrations at regular intervals over 29 weeks, using RNase RT-qPCR (both viruses), TCID
