Country-level indices in predictive models of helminth infections: Perspectives from Southeast Asia.
Article in PLoS neglected tropical diseases, 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
Predictive models integrating country-level indices with individual variables offer valuable insights into soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infection risk among migrant populations. However, national indicators such as the Human Development Index and sanitation coverage may inadequately capture the heterogeneous exposure risks within and beyond countries of origin. Drawing on experiences from Southeast Asia, we highlight limitations of relying solely on aggregated metrics and emphasize the importance of incorporating post-migration factors, including living conditions and occupational exposures. Ethical considerations surrounding stigma and discrimination in nationality-based screening are also discussed. We advocate for contextual adaptation and validation of predictive frameworks to better serve diverse migrant communities and improve equitable access to parasitic disease control.
