Soil transmitted helminth infections among school going age children of slums from Bhubaneswar, Odisha.
Article in Tropical parasitology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveThe objective is to determine prevalence and risk factors for soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infection among school-going age children from slums of Bhubaneswar.
designCross-sectional observational study.
settingMicrobiology laboratory of a tertiary care hospital, Bhubaneswar, during May 1-October 30, 2015 (6 months) including 360 children of 3-15 years from two populated slums of Bhubaneswar, assuming STH prevalence - 50%, confidence interval 95% and 10% relative precision. Purposively sampling by house to house visit was adopted to collect stool samples along with risk factors through questionnaires from each child after written informed consent of parents/guardians. MATERIALS AND
methodsDirect saline mount and egg counting by Kato-Katz (KK) method for STH-positive samples was done.
resultsSTH prevalence was 13.3%, more in males (68.8%), and significantly high (62.5%.
conclusionSTH prevalence of Bhubaneswar slums was minimum (13.3%), school-going children of 6-12 years were more affected and handwashing habit with soap was the key factor to prevent STH infection. The proportion of participants having toilet facility and using footwear regularly had no role in STH prevention.
