Uncovering Putative Bacterial Pathogens in Lakes in Aotearoa New Zealand Using Environmental DNA.
Article in Ecology and evolution, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The emergence of aquatic diseases poses significant risks to ecological, social, cultural and economic values. Aquatic environments are intricately linked to human and animal health, as water can facilitate the spread and transmission of pathogens and waterborne diseases. We conducted an environmental DNA survey of 287 lakes across Aotearoa New Zealand, spanning a broad gradient of natural and human-influenced conditions. Using a curated bacterial pathogens database, we detected 412 potentially pathogenic taxa-250 detected only in water and 162 found in both water and sediment; none were exclusive to sediment.
