Use of polydimethylsiloxane topomimetic artificial blueberry, strawberry, and raspberry surfaces for the study of foodborne virus recovery and inactivation in berries.

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
Foodborne viruses have caused large-scale outbreaks in fresh and frozen berries, such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Studies have previously evaluated the use of non-thermal technologies (including chemical sanitizers) to inactivate foodborne viruses on the surface of soft berries with varying results. In this study, we investigate a novel model system for utility in characterizing virus attachment and removal, as well as sanitizer inactivation on the surface of berries. A casting method using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) was used to create topomimetic artificial surfaces ("replicasts") of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries to elucidate the impact of berry surface structures (topography) on virus adhesion and inactivation. A human norovirus surrogate, Tulane virus (TV), was inoculated (2 × 10
