Occurrence of enterotoxigenic
Article in Frontiers in environmental science, 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
Background: The prevalence of ETEC in the environment could be influenced by environmental factors, which may contribute to seasonal outbreaks. This study assessed the seasonal prevalence of the ETEC population in water bodies in relation to ecological changes in Bangladesh. Method: The presence of ETEC in water, plankton, and sediment samples collected from water bodies in Mathbaria, a southern coastal region, was investigated using quantitative PCR (qPCR) and an extensive culture method over a year. Concurrently, the physico-chemical parameters of the water were measured. We also tested aquatic samples from Chhatak, a northern hilly region. Results: ETEC was detected in a high proportion (56%-78%) in water, plankton, and sediment samples from both sites. In Mathbaria, higher abundance of ETEC was noted in fall and spring, followed by summer and lowest in the monsoon. ETEC positivity was high in winter by qPCR, but no viable ETEC could be isolated. Environmental conditions such as neutral to low alkaline pH, elevated dissolved oxygen levels, and warmer water temperatures showed a trend of association with increased ETEC prevalence. Conclusion: The persistence of ETEC in environmental water and their association with ecologic factors may help to explain seasonal illnesses in people.
