Adolescents and young adults excluded from preventive chemotherapy for schistosomiasis control in Northern Tanzania: are they at risk and reservoirs of infection? Prevalence and determinants of transmission in Northern Tanzania.

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
Objective: To investigate the magnitude of urogenital schistosomiasis and determinants of transmission among adolescents and young adults in Itilima district, Simiyu region, Northern Tanzania. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study was carried out using probability sampling strategies to select 433 secondary school students from five schools among the five wards of Itilima district, an area endemic for urogenital schistosomiasis. A self-administered structured questionnaire was used to gather data on determinants, and urine samples were examined for macrohaematuria and the presence of Results: The overall prevalence rates of Conclusions: Urogenital schistosomiasis is prevalent among adolescents and young adults, and serves as a reservoir for transmission of
