1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of cross-sectional and case-control studies published between January 1, 2017, and June 10, 2025, in accordance with PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Literature searches were performed in PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science, supplemented by Google Scholar. Eligible studies reported the prevalence of Results: A total of 89 studies were included. The pooled prevalence of Conclusions: This updated synthesis demonstrates that cryptosporidiosis remains a substantial health burden in HIV/AIDS patients, with notable genetic diversity reflecting both anthroponotic and zoonotic transmission routes. The strong association with immunosuppression, as evidenced by low CD4 counts and diarrheal symptoms, underscores its clinical relevance. These findings highlight the urgent need for improved surveillance, molecular epidemiology, and preventive interventions to mitigate the impact of
