1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Monitoring human fecal contamination in wastewater is crucial for public health and environmental safety. Traditional fecal indicator bacteria (FIB), such as Escherichia coli and Enterococci, lack source specificity between human and non-human sources. Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) has emerged as a promising viral indicator, characterized by high environmental stability, specificity for human feces, and widespread occurrence in wastewater systems. This study evaluates ToBRFV as a novel RNA-based viral indicator for wastewater surveillance in Korea. Wastewater samples were collected from six wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in Incheon between July 2024 and April 2025. The results showed that ToBRFV was detected in all influent samples (240/240), with concentrations ranging from 7.42 to 9.91 log
