Assessment of Environmental Contamination With Soil-Transmitted Helminth Eggs From Human and Animal Faeces in Southern Côte d'Ivoire: A Rapid Approach for Identifying High-Risk Communities.

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
Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections remain a major public health problem in low- and middle-income regions, including the humid and lagoon areas in Côte d'Ivoire, where sanitation facilities are limited at the community level. Few studies have investigated the relationship between environmental (soil and water) contamination by STH eggs and their infection prevalence in humans and animals in endemic areas. We assume that assessing soil contamination with STH eggs could provide a rapid and cost-effective indicator for identifying high-risk communities. A cross-sectional study was conducted in October 2024 in three villages (Attehou, Bekpou and Tiagba) selected based on previous epidemiological data. A total of 215 and 58 stool samples, respectively, from school-aged children and animals (pigs, goats and sheep), in addition to 86 soil samples and 41 stagnant water samples, were collected. Human stool samples were examined using the Kato-Katz method, and animal stool samples using the McMaster flotation technique. Soil samples were analysed using an optimised flotation method with different solutions, and water samples using a sedimentation-concentration technique. Proportions were compared using Fisher's exact test. STH eggs were detected in all matrices investigated, with an overall prevalence of 44.6%, 24.1%, 25.5% and 2.43%, respectively, in children, animals, soil and water. Only
