Prevalence and Sociodemographic Risk Factors of Soil-Transmitted Helminths in Rural Communities Living in Endemic Foci of Onchocerciasis in Southern Gabon.
Article in Pathogens (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
This prospective survey determined the prevalence and intensity of infections due to geohelminths and the associated risk factors in five onchocerciasis-endemic communities in Gabon between January and February 2020. Onchocerciasis endemicity was confirmed by Ov16 IgG testing. STHs were detected using the Kato-Katz techniques. Prevalence and parasite density were analyzed according to age, sex, and onchocerciasis endemicity. STHs were found in 64.8% of participants and were more common in hypoendemic (80.9%) and hyperendemic (63.9%) onchocerciasis communities (
