Hepatitis C virus knowledge improves hepatitis C virus screening practices among primary care physicians.
Article in World journal of hepatology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
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
aimTo understand the role of knowledge as a promoter of hepatitis C virus (HCV) screening among primary care physicians (PCP).
methodsA 45-item online questionnaire assessing knowledge of HCV natural history, risk factors, and treatment was distributed to 163 PCP. Logistic regression, adjusted for survey responses, assessed associations between PCP knowledge of HCV natural history and treatment and birth cohort (
resultsNinety-one individuals (55.8%) responded. Abnormal liver enzymes (49.4%), assessment of HCV-related risk factors (30.6%), and birth cohort membership (20%) were the leading HCV screening indications. Most PCP (64.7%) felt that the combination of risk-factor and birth cohort screening utilizing a self-administered survey while awaiting the physician (55.3%) were the most efficient screening practices. Implementation of birth cohort screening was associated with awareness of the recommendations (
conclusionComprehensive knowledge of HCV is critical to motivate HCV screening. PCP-targeted educational interventions are required to expand the HCV workforce and linkage-to-care opportunities as we seek global HCV eradication.
