1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Hymenolepis nana remains a major public health problem in areas with inadequate sanitation and limited access to healthcare. The infection is common in developing countries with high fecal-oral transmission rates. In Somalia, frequent internal displacement caused by conflict and natural disasters increases the vulnerability of children living in internally displaced person (IDP) camps. Objective: This study is aimed at determining the prevalence of Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from February to March 2024 among children aged 6 months-15 years in two IDP camps: Iga-Daba Geey and Jilyaal. A total of 384 children were selected using a convenient sampling method. Data were collected through structured questionnaires covering sociodemographic information, hygiene practices, and potential risk factors. Stool samples were examined microscopically for Results: The overall prevalence of Conclusions: This study reveals a high prevalence of
