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

backgroundHelminthic infections are a major health burden worsened by inadequate health education and awareness among schoolchildren. This study aims to reduce helminthic infection by increasing awareness and knowledge through school nurse-led health education among primary schoolchildren in Bangladesh. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis was a prospective, open-label, parallel-group (1:1), cluster non-randomized controlled trial conducted on 5- to 12-year-old school-going children from September 2021 to September 2022 in rural Bangladesh. Trained school nurses provided evidence-based health education to the children from the intervention group (IG) for 9 months to improve awareness and knowledge regarding helminthic infection, whereas another group did not receive any health education during intervention periods, except for usual care. Data were analyzed by the Chi-square test and regression analysis.

resultsOverall, 455 children (control group (CG), n = 220; IG, n = 235) completed the entire study. Changes in the prevalence of helminthic infection-the primary outcome-were significant (

conclusionThe school nurse-led health education program encouragingly reduced helminthic infection and improved primary schoolchildren's awareness and knowledge of helminthic infection according to the World Health Organization (WHO) health policy. In the future, health policymakers may take initiatives to recruit school nurses to sustainably establish child health education programs.
