Intestinal Parasitic Infections in Ghana: A Review of Infections and the Risk of Zoonotic Transmission.
Review in BioMed research international, 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
Intestinal parasites pose a risk to public health globally, causing a high economic burden in developing countries. Most diagnostic methods aimed at detecting these parasites in hospital settings are not sensitive to recovering parasites. Hence, the prevalence of these diseases remains a challenge in areas of poor environmental sanitation and inadequate diagnostic tools. Control strategies are critical but may need a deep understanding of the epidemiology of parasitic diseases. In Ghana, intestinal parasitic infections are considered to be an important public health issue. Despite efforts to reduce the burden of infections, these parasites continue to spread. As such, this review is aimed at bringing up to date the existing information on the burden of intestinal parasites in Ghana by compiling available publications from 1975 to 2023. Emphasis is made on parasitic infections in vulnerable groups, livestock and the risk of zoonotic transmission. There is a need for more surveillance efforts to determine the dynamics of infections as well as intensify mass education.
