Effectiveness of Deworming Strategy in Reducing Anemia in Children: An Overview of Reviews.
Review in Indian journal of community medicine : official publication of Indian Association of Preventive & Social Medicine. 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
Background: The most common infections transmitted through soil in humans are caused by roundworms, whipworms, and hookworms. The overview of reviews aimed to determine the effectiveness of deworming interventions on anemia in children. Material and Methods: The studies included in this review were systematic reviews and meta-analyses that included randomized controlled trials/cluster trials comparing deworming drugs recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) with placebo or no treatment in children 1-19 years. Results: The electronic and manual searches have identified 137 titles and abstracts. Full-text screening yielded nine systematic reviews, which finally yielded the inclusion of six published systematic reviews and one previous report of the ICMR Advanced Centre for Evidence-Based Child Health. Overall, the results from seven systematic reviews suggested that there was no significant change in the hemoglobin levels after single- or double-dose deworming in children. The significant heterogeneity was reported by only two systematic reviews by Ghogomu Conclusion: In conclusion, we suggest no significant change in hemoglobin levels and status of anemia after deworming by single or double dose in children.
