The regional impact and control strategies of schistosomiasis in Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda: a narrative review.
Review in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Schistosomiasis remains a major public health problem in East Africa, particularly Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda, driven by inadequate sanitation, unsafe water contact, and snail intermediate hosts. Objective: This review summarizes recent epidemiological information and reviews schistosomiasis control efforts in East Africa to highlight the achievements, challenges, and pathways to elimination. Methods: We reviewed 37 recent studies on prevalence, morbidity, and intervention, including mass drug administration (MDA), water sanitation and hygiene (WASH) measures, snail control, and health education. Emphasizing inter-sectoral approaches and One Health. Results: Findings vary across regions, with 15.9% Conclusion: Elimination of schistosomiasis requires improved diagnostics, climate-adapted snail control, equitable MDA coverage, and a One Health approach. Achieving WHO's 2030 targets demand innovation, political commitment, and equitable allocation of resources to address this public burden.
