Parasite burden: Prevalence and risk factors in Ko-ae, Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand.

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
Objectives: Parasitic infections (PI) remain a significant public health concern in Southeast Asia. Understanding local prevalence and associated risk factors is essential for guiding effective interventions. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of PI and to examine the associated risk factors influencing PI in Ko-ae, a rural Thai community. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional survey was conducted in Ko-ae Subdistrict, Ubon Ratchathani Province, northeastern Thailand, from January to July 2021. Stool samples were collected from 941 participants and examined for intestinal parasites using standard parasitological techniques. Structured questionnaires were administered to assess participants' sociodemographic characteristics, health knowledge, and perceptions related to PI. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with infection. Results: Overall, 109 individuals (11.58%) were found to be infected with at least one parasite. The most prevalent single infections were Conclusions: PI remain endemic in Ko-ae, with specific demographic and socioeconomic factors influencing infection risk. Knowledge and perception gaps were strongly associated with higher infection prevalence. Targeted health education campaigns, combined with chemotherapy interventions, are warranted to improve awareness, reduce transmission, and support sustainable control efforts in endemic areas.
