Seroepidemiology of Hepatitis B Virus Infection in Native and Immigrant Pregnant Women: A 20-Year Retrospective Study in Taiwan.
Article in The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Universal immunoprophylaxis against hepatitis B virus (HBV) is regarded as a key element to prevent perinatal HBV infection. The aim of the present study was to investigate the changes in the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)- and hepatitis B envelope antigen (HBeAg)-positive rates in native and immigrant pregnant women, to realize the impact of immigrants, and to identify any weaknesses 30 years after the implementation of hepatitis B vaccination in Taiwan. A total of 20,020 test results of HBsAg and HBeAg in pregnant women-2,915 (14.6%) immigrant women and 17,105 native Taiwanese-from 1996 to 2015 were analyzed for changes during this 20-year retrospective cohort study. Native Taiwanese have a higher HBsAg-positive rate than immigrant women (
