Review in Microorganisms, 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
Legionnaires' disease incidence has risen substantially across industrialised nations since the early 2000s, yet standard control protocols-primarily secondary disinfection verified by culture-rely on an evidence base that warrants further scrutiny. This review offers three interpretations of the available evidence, without claiming they are established conclusions. First, culture-based verification has inherent methodological limitations: treatments that reduce culturability can induce viable-but-non-culturable (VBNC) states undetected by culture alone, creating potential discrepancies between verified culture reduction and complete microbial clearance. This reading rests on evidence that monochloramine at ≥1 mg/L abolishes culturability while genomic units remain essentially unchanged and that starved VBNC
