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

Schistosomes are parasitic trematode worms of the genus Schistosoma, responsible for causing urogenital and intestinal schistosomiasis. Six primary species infect humans: S. mansoni, S. japonicum, S. mekongi, S. intercalatum, S. guineensis, and S. haematobium. In addition, several species including S. bovis, S. curassoni, and S. mattheei primarily infect animals, particularly cattle. Hybridization events have been documented both between human-infecting species and between human- and animal-infecting species of Schistosoma. Current methods for detecting hybrids rely on genotyping mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (cox1) and the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS), or whole-genome sequencing. This protocol describes a multi-locus, multiplex amplicon sequencing approach using Nanopore technology, referred to as NMAS-Seq, for species-level genotyping and hybrid detection. It includes comprehensive steps for multiplex nested PCR, amplicon quantification and pooling, library preparation, and sequencing. The workflow is adaptable for molecular typing of other parasitic species. © 2026 The Author(s). Current Protocols published by Wiley Periodicals LLC.
