We used a sensitive, specific PCR assay to detect mpox clade Ib DNA in over 3000 wastewater samples collected prospectively across the United States. Mpox clade Ib DNA was detected in one sample from a location with a confirmed case; it was not detected in locations with no confirmed cases.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
