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

Helminthiases affect more than one billion people worldwide and remain tightly linked to environmental conditions, yet they are often underrepresented in discussions of climate-sensitive infectious diseases. As global temperatures rise and ecosystems shift, the life cycles, geographic distributions, and transmission dynamics of parasitic helminths are being reshaped in complex and sometimes contrasting ways. Here, we argue that helminthiases should be understood as ecological outcomes emerging from interactions among climatic drivers, environmental conditions, microbial communities, and host populations, rather than as the result of isolated environmental shifts. Drawing on examples from schistosomiasis, soil-transmitted helminthiases, and angiostrongyliasis, as well as climate-sensitive helminths affecting animal populations, we examine how climate change can alter parasite development, host ecology, and environmental persistence. We further highlight the role of microbial communities as mediators of transmission. Finally, we discuss how integrating environmental monitoring, microbiological data, and predictive modeling within a One Health framework can support more adaptive and anticipatory surveillance and control strategies.
