Prevalence and Risk Mapping of Intestinal Parasites in the "Hungry Valleys" Region of Slovakia.

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
Helminthiases remain a significant global health concern, affecting both the Global South and increasingly the Global North. In Slovakia, intestinal parasitic infections impact marginalised populations, particularly the population of Roma inhabitants, who often face inadequate housing, poor sanitation, and limited access to clean water. This study examines the prevalence of intestinal parasites in the "Hungry Valleys", an economically challenged region of eastern Slovakia, with a higher number of Roma inhabitants. A total of 3816 stool samples were analysed using sedimentation methods, revealing an overall positivity rate of 5.06%. The highest prevalence was found among Roma inhabitants, with 23 times higher chance for infection than non-Roma inhabitants, rural residents, and children under 18. The most common parasites were
