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

The WHO 2021-2030 roadmap for neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) and the 2022 Kigali Declaration urge academic research institutions to unite in combating NTDs, including schistosomiasis, and emphasize the importance of strategic partnerships to free more than 1 billion people who require interventions against NTDs. We conducted stakeholder meetings to understand the landscape of schistosomiasis research training in Uganda and the existing collaborations with research institutions in sub-Saharan Africa, Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In focus group discussions (involving 33 individuals from four institutions), key challenges were summarized into four emerging themes: 1) limited physical infrastructure for schistosomiasis research and training, 2) a low critical mass of scientists with competencies in schistosomiasis research, 3) a limited scope of current schistosomiasis research, and 4) limited advocacy and community engagement for schistosomiasis control. National and international partnerships, as well as partnerships between academics and implementers, should be harnessed to establish a vibrant network for schistosomiasis research training in resource-limited settings where the disease remains endemic.
