Strongyloides Genetic Diversity among Humans, Dogs, and Nonhuman Primates, Central African Republic, 2016-2022.

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
Strongyloides stercoralis nematode infection occurs in ≈600 million persons worldwide and is listed by the World Health Organization as a neglected tropical disease. Understanding zoonotic potential is critical, especially in areas where humans, domestic animals, and wildlife interact. We explored cross-species sharing of Strongyloides roundworms by analyzing fecal samples from humans, dogs, and nonhuman primates in the Dzanga-Sangha Protected Areas, Central African Republic. We detected positive samples by quantitative PCR and assessed genetic diversity through amplification of the 18S rRNA HVR-IV region and cox1, followed by high-throughput sequencing. Strongyloides prevalence was high in humans, dogs, and gorillas. S. stercoralis haplotype A roundworm dominated in humans but appeared in dogs and apes, whereas S. fuelleborni roundworm was present in all hosts. Shared species and haplotypes indicated zoonotic transmission. Our findings highlight the need for molecular surveillance and emphasize the role of dogs and nonhuman primates as reservoirs, complicating efforts to control infections in human populations.
