Article in Health science reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 and Aims: Urinary schistosomiasis has remained one of the most important public health issues in Sudan, especially in regions like Gezira State, which relies on irrigation schemes. Despite control activities, morbidity from schistosomiasis in these regions remains a challenge, therefore updated prevalence data are important for proper planning of control strategies. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence and associated socio-demographic and behavioral risk factors of urinary schistosomiasis among individuals attending healthcare facilities in Al Managil, Gezira State, Sudan. Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Al-Managil city, Gezira State, from August 2022 to June 2023. A total of 212 participants were selected using systematic random sampling. Urine examination was performed microscopically for the presence of eggs of Results: The prevalence of urinary schistosomiasis was 29.7% (63/212). The prevalence was significantly higher among males and rural residents, individuals with low educational level, and farmers ( Conclusion: Urinary schistosomiasis transmission still persists in Al Managil city despite the ongoing control efforts. Male gender, rural residence, poor sanitary conditions, and unsafe behavior concerning water sources have shown to be the significant risk factors for the transmission of the disease. Health education, sanitary conditions, and unsafe water sources need to be addressed to reinforce the continued efforts for the control of the disease.
