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
Intestinal parasitic infections remain a major public health concern, particularly among school-aged children in resource-limited settings. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors of intestinal parasitism among schoolchildren in the municipality of Banfora, Burkina Faso. A cross-sectional study was conducted in November 2024 among 298 schoolchildren aged 5-14 years. Sociodemographic, environmental, and behavioral data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Stool samples were examined by direct wet mount, formol-ether concentration, and Kato-Katz techniques. Factors associated with intestinal parasitism were identified using multivariable logistic regression. The median age of the participants was 9 years (range: 5-13). The overall prevalence of intestinal parasitism was 81.9% (244/298; 95% CI: 77.3-86.2). Protozoa predominated (238/298, 79.9%), mainly
