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
Background: The most common parasitic diseases in underdeveloped countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), are malaria and soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infection, which primarily affect pregnant women and children under five. Objective: To determine the prevalence and associated factors of malaria and STH infections among pregnant women at Mizan-Tepi University Teaching Hospital (MTUTH), Southwest Ethiopia, between March 1 and June 30, 2024. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among 330 pregnant women who attended an antenatal clinic at MTUTH between March 1 and June 30, 2024. Blood and stool samples were collected using a systematic random sampling procedure following the acquisition of signed informed consent. A standardized pretested questionnaire was utilized to gather clinical and sociodemographic information. Epi-data and SPSS Version 27.0 were used for data entry and analysis. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analysis was done to assess the associated factors. Statistical significance was set at a Result: A prevalence of 25.2% (83/330) was recorded for malaria, and STH infections were identified among 29.4% (97/330) of pregnant women who participated, with Conclusion: The high burden of malaria and STH among pregnant women highlights the need for integrated antenatal interventions, including early ANC attendance, health education, sanitation improvements, and preventive measures like insecticide-treated nets and deworming, which would substantially lower these infections and improve maternal and fetal outcomes.
