The Burden of Neglected Tropical Diseases in Rwanda: A Scoping Review.
Review in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background and Aims: Rwanda is among the African countries affected by neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). This scoping review aims to synthesize available information to understand the prevalence, incidence, distribution, morbidity, mortality, and risk factors of NTDs in Rwanda. Methods: Between February and March 2024, we searched PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases and grey literature for NTDs articles published between January 1, 1980 and January 31, 2024. Articles were screened following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Review. Relevant data were extracted into Microsoft Word for narrative synthesis. Results: The search retrieved 2808 articles and 103 were included in this review. Country-wide prevalence studies were conducted for schistosomiasis, soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STHs), and podoconiosis. These studies were mostly cross-sectional. Prevalences ranged from 0%-77.9%, 0%- 92.9%, 0%-4.88%, 0.04% Conclusion: Gaps exist for data on country-wide mapping to understand the burden of some NTDs in Rwanda. Such data is vital for implementing national-level interventions to achieve NTD elimination or control targets by 2030.
