Increased Prevalence of Cestode Infection Associated with History of Deworming among Primary School Children in Ethiopia.

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
Mass deworming of school-aged children with anthelmintics has been recognized as an effective approach for reducing the burden of soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections. However, the consequences of this intervention on nontargeted parasite populations sharing the same gastrointestinal niche are unclear. We conducted a cross-sectional survey among three primary schools in Sululta town, Ethiopia, to examine the association between students' histories of deworming treatment in the past 6 months and the prevalence of cestode and protozoan infections. An interviewer-led questionnaire administered to parents provided information on sociodemographic factors, and deworming status was ascertained from school records. Stool samples were collected from 525 children for microscopic examination. The independent associations of "
