A Patient-Centered Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Educational Intervention Improves HBV Care Among Underserved Safety-Net Populations.
Article in Journal of clinical gastroenterology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
goalsTo evaluate the impact of a prospective patient-centered hepatitis B virus (HBV) educational intervention on improving HBV care.
backgroundImproving patients' HBV knowledge has the potential to improve adherence to HBV monitoring and management, particularly among underserved safety-net populations.
methodsConsecutive chronic HBV adults at a single-center safety-net liver clinic were recruited from July 2017 to July 2018 to evaluate the impact of an in-person, language concordant formal HBV educational intervention on improvements in HBV knowledge and HBV management: appropriate HBV clinic follow-up (≥1 visit/year), HBV laboratory monitoring (≥1 HBV viral load and alanine aminotransferase test/year), hepatocellular carcinoma surveillance (≥1 liver imaging test/year among eligible patients), and HBV treatment among treatment eligible patients. HBV knowledge and management were assessed before and after the intervention and compared with age-matched and sex-matched HBV controls who did not receive an education.
resultsAmong 102 patients with chronic HBV (54.9% men; mean age, 52.0±13.8), HBV education improved HBV knowledge scores by 25% (P<0.001), HBV clinic follow-up from 25.5% to 81.4% (P<0.001), HBV laboratory monitoring from 62.8% to 77.5% (P=0.02), and appropriate HBV treatment from 71.5% to 98.5% (P<0.001). Compared with 102 HBV controls, receiving HBV education was associated with higher rates of HBV clinic follow-up (81.4% vs. 39.2%; odds ratio, 7.02; 95% confidence interval, 3.64-13.56; P<0.001) and appropriate HBV laboratory monitoring (77.5% vs. 42.2%; odds ratio, 4.94, 95% confidence interval, 2.64-9.24; P<0.001).
conclusionA formal, in-person, language concordant educational intervention leads to significant improvements in HBV knowledge, resulting in improved HBV monitoring and appropriate HBV treatment.
