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
Background: Malaria and soil-transmitted helminth (STH) co-infection have serious public health implications, especially in the sub-Saharan African region, affecting pregnant women. These infections during pregnancy may lead to anemia, which could cause maternal and perinatal complications. Objective: To assess the prevalence of malaria and STH co-infection and its association with anemia among pregnant women visiting Mizan-Tepi University Teaching Hospital (MTUTH) from September 1 to December 30, 2024. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from September 1 to December 30, 2024, among pregnant women attending antenatal care at MTUTH. Blood and stool samples were collected from each pregnant woman using a systematic random sampling method. Sociodemographic and clinical data were collected using a prestructured questionnaire. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to determine the association between malaria-STH co-infections and anemia. Data entry and analysis were done using Epi-data Version 4.6 and SPSS Version 27.0. A Result: The following prevalences were recorded: malaria (24.4%, 81/332), STHs (33.7%, 112/332), and their co-infection (12.7%, 42/332). The overall prevalence of anemia was 57.5%, while it was 18.4%, 26.2%, and 9.6% for pregnant women infected with malaria, STH, and co-infection, respectively. Handwashing practice before meals and residence (rural) showed a significant association with malaria-STH co-infection with (AOR = 12.748, Conclusion: The prevalence of malaria, STHs, and their co-infections was high, contributing to the high prevalence of anemia among the study participants. Malaria and STH infection showed a strong statistical association with anemia.
