Models for predicting bulinids species habitats in southwestern Nigeria.
Article in Parasite epidemiology and control, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: Schistosomiasis prevalence is high in southwestern Nigeria and planorbids of the genus Methods: Satellite imagery and geographic information system (GIS) were used to develop models for predicting the habitats suitable for bulinid species. Monthly snail sample collection was done in twenty-three randomly selected water contact sites using the standard method for a period of two years. Remotely sensed variables such as Land Surface Temperature (LST), Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) were extracted from Landsat TM, ETM Results: The following environmental variables: flat-moderate slope (0.01-15.83), LST (21.1 °C-23.4 °C), NDVI (0.19-0.52), rainfall (> 1569.34 mm) and elevation (1-278 m) contributed to the model used in predicting habitat suitable for bulinids snail intermediate hosts. Exploratory regression models showed that LST, NDVI and slope were predictors of Conclusion: The predictive risk models of bulinid species in this study provided a robust output for the study area which could be used as base-line for other areas in that ecological zone. It will be useful in appropriate allocation of scarces resources in the control of schistosomiasis in that environment.
