Improving Molecular Epidemiological Surveillance of Strongyloidiasis Upon Differentiation of Strongyloides fuelleborni fuelleborni From Strongyloides stercoralis.
Article in The Journal of infectious diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Molecular epidemiological surveillance for zoonotic strongyloidiasis is confounded by a genus-specific TaqMan probe assay that conflates Strongyloides fuelleborni fuelleborni with Strongyloides stercoralis. To improve surveillance, we developed and validated a novel duplex species-specific TaqMan probe assay, screening a representative collection of available clinical samples. Our assay was highly discriminatory, evidencing no cross-reactivity, and had a lowest DNA detection limit of 1 pg/µL. However, as the genus-specific DNA assay has greater detection ability, we propose a 2-step protocol where samples are first screened with this assay then, if positive, screened with our species-specific assay, discriminating (co)infections between each threadworm species.
