Prevalence and Associated Risk Factors for Intestinal Parasitic Infections Among Schoolchildren at Mikara Primary School, Northwest Ethiopia.
Article in BioMed research international, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Intestinal parasitic infections (IPIs) are major public health problems with a wide global distribution and are associated with significant diseases and death, especially in preschool-aged and school-aged children. This study is aimed at assessing the prevalence of IPIs and at identifying related risk factors among schoolchildren enrolled at Mikara Primary School in Ethiopia. A school-based cross-sectional study was conducted from February to May 2024. A total of 363 schoolchildren participated in the study, selected through stratified random sampling. Data on risk factors for IPIs were collected using a structured questionnaire, and stool samples were obtained and analyzed by direct wet mounting and sedimentation methods. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess possible relationships between the dependent and independent variables. In this study, the overall prevalence of IPIs was 40.5% (147 out of 363 participants), and seven different species of intestinal parasites were identified.
