1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Soil-Transmitted Helminth (STH) infections are a significant health issue in the Western Pacific Region (WPR). This study aims to produce high-resolution spatial prediction STH prevalence maps for the WPR. Methods: Bayesian model-based geostatistical frameworks were developed for each STH species ( Findings: We analysed 227 surveys from 3122 locations across 15 countries in the WPR. Between 1998-2011 and 2012-2021 substantial reductions in the pooled prevalence of hookworm (21.3%-3.7%), Interpretation: The high-resolution spatial prediction maps produced in this study can inform resource prioritization to accelerate STH elimination efforts. Funding: National Health and Medical Research Council (1153727 ACE-NTD).
