Prevalence of type 2 diabetes in infected or non-infected individuals. (A) Forest plot of studies illustrating that prevalence of T2D is not affected by infection when all studies are pooled. Subgroup analysis of only Schistosoma infection shows infection is associated with lower prevalence of T2D. (B) Forest plot of an infected population with diabetes vs. an infected population without diabetes shows people are less likely to develop diabetes if infected.
