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: In Nepal, the close and longstanding human-livestock relationship, vital for subsistence and livelihoods, also creates opportunities for potential zoonotic exposure to intestinal parasites, which remain a persistent and under-recognized public health challenge. Objective: This study investigated the prevalence, associated factors, and potential zoonotic implications of intestinal parasitic infections (IPIs) in Sermathang, located in Nepal's Sindhupalchok District. Methods: Fecal samples were collected from 122 humans and 37 livestock and analyzed using direct smear methods along with sedimentation and flotation concentration techniques. Results: Among human participants, 27 (22.1%) tested positive for intestinal parasites, with Conclusion: Although host-specific species were observed, parasites belonging to the same genera (
