Forest plots showing the efficacy of AS using 6 mg/kg for preventing S. japonicum infection (RCTs). The trials were stratified into sub-groups based on different dosages and time intervals between every two adjacent doses. (01) 8 doses by 1-week intervals; (02) 3 doses by 1-week intervals; (03) 8-14 doses by 2-week intervals; (04) 3-5 doses by 2-week intervals. The P values of test for heterogeneity of subgroups 01, 03 and 04 were >0.05 each, thus the pooled RRs were synthesized by the fixed-effect model.
