Prevalence of Intestinal Protozoa Among Patients Living with HIV in the Peruvian Amazon.
Article in Tropical medicine and infectious disease, 2025. 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
Intestinal protozoa are a common cause of morbidity in people living with HIV (PWH), particularly in tropical regions with poor sanitation. We conducted a cross-sectional study in 315 PWH from Iquitos, Peru, between October 2023 and May 2024, to assess their prevalence and risk factors. Stool samples were examined using Lugol's iodine, modified Ziehl-Neelsen (MZN) staining, and immunochromatography (ICT). The mean age was 41 years, with a median CD4+ count of 431 cells/µL; 12.4% were in the AIDS stage, and 21.5% had a detectable viral load. 51.4% of the participants tested positive for any intestinal protozoa.
