Molecular investigation on Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella enteritidis in table eggs and diarrheic patients.
Article in Scientific 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
Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) is a widely distributed zoonotic foodborne pathogen capable of surviving under harsh environmental conditions, including low pH and high salt concentrations. Eggs and egg products represent one of the most common sources of human salmonellosis, primarily caused by Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (S. enteritidis). Accordingly, the present study was conducted to perform a molecular investigation of L. monocytogenes and S. enteritidis in table eggs and stool samples obtained from diarrheic patients. A total of 58 pooled samples of fresh hen's eggs, along with 34 stool samples, were collected and subjected to DNA extraction followed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis. The results revealed the presence of L. monocytogenes and S. enteritidis DNA in 55.2% and 50% of the examined egg samples, respectively. A higher prevalence of L. monocytogenes was detected on eggshells compared to egg contents. Variations in infection rates were observed based on gender and age; L. monocytogenes infections were more frequently identified in males and younger individuals, whereas S. enteritidis infections were more common among females and older children. Gastrointestinal symptoms were associated with both infections, with abdominal pain being particularly prevalent in patients infected with S. enteritidis. In conclusion, the findings of this study highlight the potential zoonotic risk posed to consumers and underscore the urgent need for implementing effective control programs in laying hen farms.
