1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 parasitic infections remain a major global public health concern, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of intestinal parasites, identify associated risk factors, and compare diagnostic techniques among school children in both central and rural areas of Shendi locality, Sudan. A school-based cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2021 to April 2024. A total of 1,200 students were selected using a simple random sampling method. Data were collected through direct interviews using a pretested questionnaire. Stool specimens were collected in clean, labeled plastic containers and examined microscopically for eggs, cysts, and trophozoites using three diagnostic techniques: Wet preparation, Formol-ether concentration (FECT), and Flotation (FLO). Data were analyzed using SPSS
