Diagnosis and treatment of female genital schistosomiasis.
Review in The Lancet. Microbe, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by infection with parasitic worms of the genus Schistosoma. These blood flukes release immunogenic eggs that can become trapped within the body and cause female genital schistosomiasis (FGS). FGS is predominant in areas endemic for urogenital schistosomiasis. FGS is challenging to diagnose with the currently available methods, especially in the low-resource areas where FGS predominantly occurs. Tailored diagnostic and therapeutic strategies are required to diagnose and treat FGS, given its association with poor reproductive health outcomes. This Series paper is the second in a series discussing unique sex-specific aspects of schistosome infections in women and girls. We summarise the global literature around diagnostic techniques and treatment strategies for FGS and introduce the concept of FGS subtypes: visual, histological, and molecular.
