Prevalence of enteric parasitic infections among people living with HIV in Abeokuta, Nigeria.

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
introductionEnteric parasitic infections have been increasingly recognized as etiology of life-threatening chronic diarrhea in PLWHA in sub-Saharan Africa. This study investigated the prevalence and burden of intestinal parasitic infection among PLWHA in Abeokuta, southwest Nigeria.
methodsFreshly passed stool samples were collected from PLWHA. Detection of
resultsA total of 231 (males: females 96:135; mean age 31.81±11.40 years) PLWHA were recruited into the study, among whom 84 (36.4%) were infected with at least one intestinal parasites. Fifty two (22.5%) individuals were positive for
conclusionHigh prevalence of opportunistic parasitic infection was significantly correlated with diarrhea, low CD4+ count and ART naïve individuals in the study. These findings re-emphasize the need for early diagnosis of opportunistic parasites and appropriate intervention among PLWHA.
