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
Background: Parasitic infections are a significant public health concern in low-resource settings, particularly among children and adolescents. This study aims to determine the prevalence of parasitic infections and their association with various sociodemographic and environmental factors among asymptomatic children aged 6-13 years in rural India. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the rural field practice area of AIIMS, Gorakhpur, located in Uttar Pradesh, India. Data on sociodemographic factors, birth order, and hygiene practices were collected. Stool samples were examined microscopically. Anthropometric measurements followed standard guidelines. Results: The prevalence of parasitic infections among the children was 29.3%, with Conclusions: The study reveals a significant burden of asymptomatic parasitic infections among children in rural India, with various socioeconomic and environmental factors influencing infection rates. These findings underscore the need for comprehensive public health interventions focusing on hygiene education, improved sanitation, and routine screening to mitigate the impact of these infections on child health.
