Residual Human Intestinal Nematode Infections Following Discontinuation of Mass Drug Administration in a Rural South Asian Setting: Implications for Deworming Surveillance.

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
Prevalence of soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections in Sri Lanka has declined from 73.3% in 1954 to <1% in 2017, leading to revised deworming policies and discontinuation of routine deworming in three districts, including Anuradhapura, in 2019. As countries approach elimination, this study assessed human intestinal nematode infection (HINI) prevalence in Anuradhapura, a low-endemic setting, using microscopic and molecular methods. From January to November 2023, 967 primary school children were recruited and screened for HINI using direct smears, Kato-Katz, formalin ether concentration, agar plate culture, scotch tape, and qPCR. Combined microscopy and molecular prevalence was 41.2% for STH and 54.1% for HINI. The most prevalent HINI was
