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

Occupational exposure remains a major driver of parasitic infections in India, largely due to caste-based discrimination that severely limits job opportunities for certain communities. Historically marginalized groups, particularly Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST), often have little choice but to engage in high-risk occupations such as manual scavenging, landless farming, inland and coastal fishing, tea-estate labor, informal mining, and backyard pig-rearing. Passed down through generations of exploitation, these occupations typically involve minimal or no personal protective equipment and significantly raise the risk of infections like hookworm, strongyloidiasis, visceral leishmaniasis, lymphatic filariasis,
