Peripartum Maternal Hepatitis B Care in a US Nationwide Data Set.
Article in Journal of clinical gastroenterology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundHepatitis B virus (HBV) screening during pregnancy is standard of care to prevent vertical transmission to infants, yet the mothers themselves may not receive appropriate follow-up. GOALS: Using a national database, we sought to determine rates of maternal peripartum follow-up with a HBV specialist and identify factors associated with a lack of follow-up. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe identified women who delivered in 2000 to 2012 and were diagnosed with HBV according to International Classification of Diseases-9 codes using a national database (Optum) derived from commercial insurance claims with ∼46 million members ages 0 to 64 in all 50 states. Our primary outcome was follow-up during or after pregnancy with a HBV specialist (gastroenterology/infectious diseases).
resultsThe prevalence of HBV was 0.27% (2558/959,747 pregnancies), and median follow-up was 45 months. Only 21% of women had peripartum HBV specialist follow-up. On multivariable regression, predictors of peripartum follow-up at 1-year included younger age [odds ratio (OR), 0.97/y; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.94, 0.99], Asian race/ethnicity (OR, 1.56 vs. white; 95% CI, 1.13, 2.17), and residing in the Northeast (OR, 1.70; 95% CI, 1.09, 2.66) and Midwest (OR, 1.73; 95% CI, 1.07, 2.81) versus West. Predictors of testing for HBV DNA and alanine aminotransferase at 1 year included Asian race (OR, 1.72; 95% CI, 1.23, 2.41), a primary care physician visit within 2 years of delivery (OR, 1.63; 95% CI, 1.19, 2.22), and peripartum HBV specialist follow-up within 1 year (OR, 15.68; 95% CI, 11.38, 21.60).
conclusionsMaternal HBV specialist follow-up rates were extremely low in this large, diverse cohort representing all United States regions. Referral to a HBV specialist was the strongest predictor of appropriate postpartum HBV laboratory testing. Follow-up rates may be even lower in uninsured populations.
