Parasitic infections among patients hospitalized in the Tropical and Parasitic Clinic of Poznan University of Medical Sciences, Poland between 2015 and 2018. Is there a relationship between protozoa infection and gastrointestinal symptoms?

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
Introduction: Diarrhoea is a common reason for hospitalization among travellers returning from the tropics. The aetiology is predominantly bacterial, but it can also be caused by parasites such as Aim: We analysed patients from the Poznan Tropical and Parasitic Clinic to evaluate the presence of parasitic infections and to find correlations between infections, journeys, and gastrointestinal symptoms. Material and methods: In our study we examined 2561 stool samples obtained from patients hospitalized in the Tropical and Parasitic Department of Poznan Medical University, Poland. Microscopic examinations of samples were performed based on a direct thin smear in 0.9% NaCl, which allowed the assessment of the presence of protozoa life stages. Results: In 106 (4.14%) of the 2561 examined samples we detected parasites, mainly from people coming back from tropical areas (61.32%). Mostly we detected Conclusions: Traveling is a real risk factor for protozoa infection. The most common parasites detected in the stool are
