Seasonal Analysis of Candida auris Detection Rates at 80 Wastewater Monitoring Sites in the United States, December 2023-November 2024.
Article in Environmental microbiology reports, 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
Candida auris is an emerging fungal pathogen known to cause outbreaks in healthcare settings that are difficult to control. Here, data from 80 wastewater treatment plants were collected between December 2023 and November 2024 to compare C. auris seasonal detection rates across the four meteorological seasons. The mean C. auris seasonal detection rate communicated as a percentage (((# of detections per site/# test days per site)/# total sites)*100) was highest in the summer (7%), followed by fall (4%), spring (4%) and winter (2%). A Kruskal-Wallis test identified a significant difference between the seasons (H = 43.6, p < 0.0001) and a Dunn's post hoc test with Bonferroni correction identified pairwise differences between summer and each of the other seasons (p < 0.05). Statistical significance and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were further assessed by a bootstrapping analysis that also identified a significant difference between summer and all other seasons (p < 0.01). Proportionally, 39 (48%) sites had their highest seasonal detection rate in summer, followed by 21 (27%) in fall, 15 (18%) in spring and five (7%) in winter. These results collectively document elevated C. auris seasonal detection rates in summer, providing new context to apply C. auris wastewater surveillance.
