1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

A parasitic worm is commonly referred to as a helminth. There are two types of helminths: Nematoda, or roundworms, and Platyhelminthes, or flatworms (flukes and tapeworms). While some are very huge, measuring more than one meter in length, many are rather large. Poor tropical and subtropical regions are the sites of the most severe helminth infections; however, some can also happen in developed nations. Less severe infestations are found throughout the planet. Food preferences, contact with vectors, climate, and cleanliness all affect an individual's risk of infection. Nearly every organ system, including the intestine, may be affected. In this study, the overall prevalence of intestinal helminthic infestations was 1.10% (n = 10), with
