Risk of autochthonous human schistosomiasis transmission in Italy.
Review in Le infezioni in medicina, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Introduction: Risk of introduction of schistosomiasis to Italy: The distance between southern Corsica and northern Sardinia is 12 km. The freshwater snail Bulinus (B.) truncatus, one of the intermediate mollusc hosts of S. haematobium, is known to be endemic in some regions of southern Europe, including Corsica, Spain, and Portugal, where it transmits the zoonotic Discussion and conclusions: There is a considerable potential risk of autochthonous schistosomiasis being introduced to Italy. Therefore, surveillance has to be intensified to prevent the establishment of an autochthonous transmission cycle of human schistosomiasis in Italy. Systematic screening strategies for individuals who have been possibly exposed to endemic areas need to be established. Curative treatment of identified cases is mandatory. Praziquantel, the drug of choice, needs to be readily available throughout Italy.Malacological surveillance of snail populations focusing on potential transmission sites is recommended. A one-health approach is recommended to verify the actual epidemiological situation of autochthonous
