Incidence of Ascaris Lumbricoides Over 20 Years in the Population of the United Mexican States (2003-2022) and Projection Through 2030.
Observational study in Acta parasitologica, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeSoil-transmitted helminth infections affect people who live in areas with poor sanitation and low socioeconomic levels. Ascaris lumbricoides is one of the most frequent parasites worldwide and in México. The General Directorate of Epidemiology reports data related to infections weekly, and this study was based on that. The aim of this study was to analyze the SINAVE data for twenty years (2003-2022) to assess the incidence of ascariasis in the United Mexican States.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective observational analysis of ascariasis from January 2003 to December 2022, classifying data by year, age group, state, and gender. A predictive model was used to estimate the new cases until 2030.
resultsFrom 2003 to 2022, the total number of new cases registered in the whole country decreased by 81.2%. The geographical distribution of the new cases was more pronounced in the Neotropical region of Yucatan, Tabasco, and Chiapas States. Women and infants from 1 to 9 years old exhibited the highest incidence. The prediction model showed that in 2030, there will be an incidence higher than 15,000 new cases in the United Mexican States.
conclusionsThis work indicates that Ascaris infection tends to decrease an is in accordance to our model, and could be related to hand hygiene and the look-down approach during the COVID-19 pandemic.
