Occurrence, environmental correlates, and risk assessment of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in Caspian sea coastal waters.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Vibrio parahaemolyticus (Vp) poses a significant public health concern in marine environments. This study evaluated the occurrence and health risk of Vp in coastal waters of the southern Caspian Sea during summer 2022 using the WHO-recommended QMRA framework. Forty-eight seawater samples collected from two beaches in Guilan Province revealed Vp concentrations ranging from 1.9 × 10⁵ to 5.0 × 10⁵ CFU L⁻¹. Monte Carlo simulation was applied to quantify uncertainty, showing higher median probabilities of illness (Pill) at Beach B (children: 9.0 × 10⁻³; adults: 3.7–5.8 × 10⁻³) than at Beach A (children: 5.0 × 10⁻³; adults: 2.0–3.4 × 10⁻³), all below the US. EPA threshold (0.036). The estimated disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) exceeded the WHO reference level (10⁻⁶ pppy) but remained below the US. EPA benchmark (10⁻⁴ pppy), indicating a low but non-negligible health burden, particularly among children. In addition, statistical analysis revealed positive correlations between Vp and salinity, temperature, and turbidity, and a negative correlation with pH. Sensitivity analysis revealed that Vp concentration was the dominant factor at Beach A, while ingested water volume had the greatest influence at Beach B. These results support targeted management measures to mitigate microbial risks in recreational waters.
