Strongyloides stercoralis larvae found for the first time in tap water using a novel culture method.
Article in Parasitology research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Strongyloides stercoralis (S. stercoralis) is a soil-borne helminth but its prevalence in water samples is underestimated. The aim of the present study is to propose non-nutrient agar (NNA) as a novel culture method in the diagnosis of Strongyloides and to detect the prevalence rate of S. stercoralis larvae in tap water samples in Beni-Suef Governorate, Egypt. Eighty tap water samples were collected from Beni-Suef Governorate and each sample was filtered in three steps using three filters: one filter for microscopic examination of wet mount, while the remaining two filters were cultured on both NNA and nutrient agar plate (APC). S. stercoralis larvae, adults, and eggs were detected in two (2.5%) and four (5%) out of 80 samples after examination of wet mount preparation and cultures on both NNA and APC, respectively. NNA succeeded to maintain Strongyloides alive for up to 1 month. Our study is the first to detect Strongyloides larvae in tap water in Egypt and the first to use NNA as a novel culture media for Strongyloides.
