Multicounty Outbreak of Salmonella Agbeni Linked to Ice in a Cooler at a County Fair - Illinois, August 2024.
Article in MMWR. Morbidity and mortality weekly report, 2026. 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
On August 5, 2024, the Brown County (Illinois) Health Department (BCHD) was informed by the county sheriff that numerous potential jurors being screened for an upcoming trial had reported recently experiencing a gastrointestinal illness. One week later, on August 12, a laboratory-confirmed case of Salmonella enterica serotype Agbeni infection was reported to BCHD by the Illinois Department of Public Health. Investigation by BCHD identified seven laboratory-confirmed and six probable cases of S. enterica serotype Agbeni illness across five Illinois counties. All persons who became ill had attended the Brown County fair in rural Illinois during July 30-August 4 and reported drinking beer served from a cooler in the fair's beer tent. No other common food or environmental exposures were identified. The cooler containing the beer was reused for multiple days and not cleaned. A generative artificial intelligence tool (ChatGPT 4.0, OpenAI; 2024) was used to assist with hypothesis generation during the investigation, supplementing traditional epidemiologic methods and contributing to identification of a shared, nonfood vehicle of transmission. This outbreak highlights the role of standardized hygiene protocols for cooler sanitation and beverage storage and handling at public events.
