Prevalence of intestinal parasitic contamination in fresh vegetables in Bangkok, Thailand, and surrounding areas: A cross-sectional survey.

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
Intestinal parasitic infections are a major public health issue worldwide, and vegetables contaminated with these parasites have been implicated in their transmission. This study investigated the prevalence and distribution of intestinal parasites (IPs) on fresh vegetables in Bangkok, Thailand, and surrounding areas. This cross-sectional survey was conducted from November 1 to December 31, 2022. Vegetable samples were purchased from 12 markets in Bangkok and on surrounding areas. A total of 1800 fresh vegetable samples were collected and examined using direct wet-mount microscopy by parasitologists. The total prevalence of IPs in fresh vegetables was 21.17 %, with the highest prevalence observed in peppermint (79.17 %), followed by Thai basil (72.50 %) and
