Observational study in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Parasitosis is a major public health concern in developing countries, significantly contributing to childhood malnutrition, anemia, stunted physical and mental growth, and social problems. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of intestinal worm infestation and its associated risk factors among school going children. Methods: A descriptive study was done among school - going children of Shree Krishna Sanskrit Tatha Sadharan Madhaymik Vidhyalaya from March 20 to May 31, 2025. A purposive (non-probability) sampling technique was employed. Prior Informed consent was obtained from participants and guardians. Data were collected using a structured, self-designed proforma. Data analysis was done using SPSS 20. Results: The prevalence of intestinal parasitic infestation among school-going children in this study was 129 (52.41%; 95.00% CI: 46.00%-58.82%). Among children aged 6-9 years, the prevalence was 47 (82.45%), and among females, it was 75 (55.55%). Infestation was found in 46 (92.00%) of children who washed hands with water only after defecation and in 53 (77.94%) of those who had not taken anthelmintic medication. Conclusions: Parasitic infestations in children included in this study was higher as compared to other published study in Nepal.
