Prevalence, Risk Factors, and Public Awareness of Internal Helminthes in Commercial Fish of Lake Chamo, Southern Ethiopia.

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
Fish is a vital source of food, employment, trade, and economic well-being for people. But, it is hindered by a variety of diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and most commonly parasites. The impact and public health importance of parasitic helminthes in fish which cause devaluation, retarded growth, morbidity, and mortality have not been sufficiently studied in Ethiopia, especially in Lake Chamo. Therefore, this cross-sectional study was conducted in Lake Chamo, Southern Ethiopia from October 2023 to December 2024 to estimate the prevalence, identify determinants, and assess community awareness towards public health importance of parasitic helminthes in commercially viable fish species. The study was performed using 369 commercially viable fish species selected from local fishermen either randomly or conveniently. A total of 156 respondents at vicinity of Lake Chamo were surveyed using structured questionnaire to assess their awareness level towards fish parasites. The overall prevalence of fish helminthic parasite infection was 67.8% (250/369) with high prevalence observed in
