The Burden and Associated Factors of Intestinal Parasitic Infection Among Prisoners in Ethiopia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Journal of parasitology research, 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
Introduction: Intestinal parasitic infection poses a significant health problem among prisoners. This burden arises from inadequate facilities and limited access to health education, malnourishment, limited access to drinkable water, overcrowding, and poor cleanliness. Methods: PRISMA guidelines were followed in this systematic review and meta-analysis. To find relevant data, we looked through gray literature sources and published studies through online databases like ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, PubMed, and Semantic Scholar. The Condition, Context, and Population (COCOPO) principle was used to develop search terms. The papers' quality was evaluated using the critical assessment checklist for prevalence studies developed by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). To arrange, assess, and cite relevant studies, EndNote (Version X9) was utilized. Data analysis was performed using Stata software, Version 17. Result: This study, included a total of eight studies, involving 2412 prisoners. According to a random-effects model, the overall prevalence of intestinal parasitic infection among prisoners in Ethiopia was 45% (95% CI: 39%-51%), with a significant degree of heterogeneity ( Conclusion: In Ethiopia, intestinal parasitic infections are prevalent among prisoners. The common parasitic infections were
