Patient Knowledge, Beliefs and Barriers to Hepatitis B Care: Results of a Multicenter, Multiethnic Patient Survey.
Article in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
backgroundA greater understanding of the determinants of health behavior among those with and at-risk of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is needed for effective design and implementation of public health initiatives.
aimsTo determine factors associated with (1) willingness to accept HBV antiviral treatment and (2) satisfaction with provider communication regarding HBV care in a diverse cohort of HBV-infected patients.
methodsUsing a multifaceted model of health behavior, the Health Behavior Framework, we conducted a comprehensive assessment of knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and barriers to HBV care.
resultsWe enrolled 510 patients, with mean age 46 years; 53.1% men; and 71.6% Asian or Hawaiian/Pacific Islander. Patients were knowledgeable about HBV infection, but one-fifth did not think that HBV was a treatable disease; over a quarter felt it was so common among family and friends that it did not concern them, and less than half of patients believed they were likely to have liver problems or transmit HBV to others during their lifetime. Perceived susceptibility to disease risk was the only independent predictor of willingness to accept HBV treatment (β = 0.23, p = 0.0005), and contrary to expectations, having a doctor that speaks the same language was predictive of lower patient satisfaction with provider communication about their HBV care (β = - 0.65, p < 0.0001).
conclusionsPatients with greater perceived susceptibility to the health consequences of HBV infection are more likely to accept treatment, and patient-provider language concordance impacts patient satisfaction with communication regarding HBV care in an unexpected direction.
