Frequency of Intestinal Parasitic Infection and Associated Factors Among HIV Patients on Antiretroviral Therapy at Debre Tabor Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia: A 5-Year Retrospective Study.

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
Background: Intestinal parasite infections (IPIs) are significant public health concerns, particularly for those with HIV/AIDS. Low hygiene standards, tainted water, and inadequate sanitation all contribute to Ethiopia's high frequency of IPIs. HIV patients are still susceptible to several parasitic illnesses even after antiretroviral medication (ART) and deworming efforts have been implemented. The data in the study area are restricted, despite the fact that few studies describe IPIs among HIV patients. Furthermore, by taking sociodemographic and clinical aspects into account, this study produced thorough 5-year data. In order to fill in the gaps in local epidemiological data and guide focused treatments, this study evaluated the frequency of IPIs and the factors that are linked to them among HIV patients receiving ART. Objective: To assess the frequency of IPIs and related variables in HIV/AIDS patients receiving ART at Debre Tabor Comprehensive Specialized Hospital (DTCSH), Ethiopia. Methods: A 5-year retrospective hospital-based study was conducted using medical records of 600 HIV patients on ART at DTCSH. Included were data registered between May 2020 and May 2025. Data on sociodemographic, CD Results: Out of 600 records, 33.5% of people have IPIs. Conclusion: Among HIV patients receiving ART, IPIs remain prevalent. Important determinants of IPIs include age, place of residency, CD
