Prevalence of hepatitis B virus among children of HBsAg-positive mothers in Hebron district, Palestine.

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) is the major causative agent of chronic hepatitis causing liver cirrhosis and liver cancer. However, its transmission is likely to be minimized through vaccination. The study aims to determine the prevalence of hepatitis B among children born to hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive women in Hebron district/Palestine.
methodsThe overall number of women enrolled in this study was 125, all children of these mothers [386] were tested, out of which 42 were HBsAg-positive. The recruited participants were asked about their socio-demographic details including age, place of residence, occupation, level of education, as well as questions related to expected route of exposure to the virus and the type of vaccination they provided to their newborns. The results were explained based on the descriptive statistics that included frequencies and percentages.
resultsThe results showed that the prevalence of HBsAg among children born to HBsAg-positive mothers was 10.9% (42 positive children out of 386). Moreover, (33.6%) of the HBsAg-positive women had family history of hepatitis B infection. Transmission of hepatitis B among children of HBsAg-positive mothers was found in the low socio-economic class in the rural areas.
conclusionsThe study concluded that the prevalence of HBsAg among children born to HBsAg-positive mothers was high among the families living in villages with low to moderate income.
