Seroprevalence and sources of Toxoplasma infection among indigenous and immigrant pregnant women in Taiwan.
Article in Parasitology research, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers.
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
Investigation on seroprevalence and risk factors of Toxoplasma gondii infections among indigenous and immigrant pregnant women in Mid-Taiwan showed that anti Taxoplasma-specific IgG antibody counts were significantly higher in indigenes (40.6%) than in immigrants (18.2%), with an odds ratio of OR=3.34 (95% CI: 1.93-4.80). The titre of Taxoplasma-specific IgG was also significantly higher in indigenes than in immigrants (P<0.001). Differences of living styles for Toxoplasma infection between the two groups were drinking untreated water (OR=2.34, 95% CI: 1.36-4.02), consumption of raw/undercooked meats (OR=10.11 95% CI: 4.92-20.78), especially raw/undercooked pork (P=0.000), or raw/undercooked viscera (OR=9.16, 95% CI: 2.97-27.94), contact with cats (OR=5.69, 95% CI: 2.83-11.47), or soil (OR=2.55 95% CI: 1.72-3.80). Differences of risk factors for Toxoplasma infection in terms of positive IgG in the two groups were consumption of raw/undercooked meats (P=0.005) especially raw/undercooked pork (P=0.004), and contact with cats (P=0.013) or soil (P=0.028). It is concluded that seroprevalence of Toxoplasma infection is higher in indigenous pregnant women and related to their living styles. To prevent congenital toxoplasmosis, health education seems required.
