Determinants and regional inequalities in pregnancy deworming uptake in Somalia: findings from the 2020 Somalia demographic and health survey.

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
Objectives: Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections remain widespread in Somalia, yet national evidence on deworming uptake during pregnancy is scarce. This study exams determinants and regional inequalities in pregnancy deworming uptake in Somalia: findings from the 2020 Somalia demographic and health survey (SDHS). Methods: This study analyzed data from 14,419 women in the 2020 SDHS. Weighted descriptive statistics, bivariate analyses, and multivariate logistic regression were applied to identify determinants of deworming drug use. All analyses accounted for survey clustering, stratification, and sampling weights. Results: National deworming coverage during pregnancy was 4.09%, among the lowest in sub-Saharan Africa. Uptake was significantly associated with antenatal care attendance (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 0.49), iron supplementation (AOR = 0.16), wealth (AOR = 1.81 among the richest), parity (AOR = 1.73), and maternal education (AOR = 1.72 for higher education). Marked geographic disparities were observed, with substantially higher odds in Lower Juba (AOR = 11.48), Bakool (AOR = 8.32), and Bay (AOR = 5.50) relative to Awdal. Nomadic women had increased odds of uptake (AOR = 6.01), while women in female-headed households were less likely to receive deworming (AOR = 0.86). Conclusions: Deworming uptake in Somalia is critically low and shaped by socioeconomic and regional inequities, underscoring the need to improve antenatal care access and drug supply.
