Helminthiases in North Korea: a neglected public health challenge.
Synthesis in Pathogens and global health, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Helminthiasis is a neglected public health challenge threatening North Koreans. However, there is no precise estimate on the burden of helminthiasis in the region. This study therefore reviewed existing literature with the aim of analyzing the current state of helminthiasis among North Koreans, as well as highlighting the difference in the prevalence of helminthiasis between North Korean residents and refugees. All published resources citing helminthiasis among North Koreans were screened through the PubMed and a Korean bibliographic database as of April 2019. Official papers reported by the government and international agencies, as well as reports and books published in North Korea, were reviewed. After removing duplicated government reports, a total of 37 records were screened, and four were determined to be included for review. The total number of study subjects was 621 from the four eligible studies. Forty percent of them were refugees living outside North Korea. Total positive rate of any kind of helminths was 37.7%.
