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

backgroundNeglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) remain a major public health concern in sub-Saharan Africa, where inadequate sanitation and unsafe water contribute to ongoing transmission.

objectiveThis study examined the prevalence and associated risk factors of Schistosoma haematobium among school-aged children in 20 WASH-focused communities across four Local Government Areas in Ogun Central, Nigeria, between March 2021 and March 2023.

methodsUrine and stool samples were collected from 1,019 pupils and analyzed using standard parasitological techniques, while structured questionnaires captured demographic information, WASH indicators, and attitudes toward anthelmintic treatment.

resultsThe overall prevalence of S. haematobium was 2%. Significant associations were observed between infection and water sources (p < 0.05), toilet facilities (p = 0.045), and haematuria (p < 0.001). Age was also identified as a significant demographic factor influencing infection.

conclusionThese findings highlight the persistent vulnerability of children in WASH-dependent communities to urinary schistosomiasis and emphasize the need for integrated control strategies that combine improved sanitation, safe water supply, health education, and regular mass drug administration.
