Prevalence and factors associated with hepatitis B virus infection among household members: a cross-sectional study in Beijing.
Article in Human vaccines & immunotherapeutics, 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
HBV prevention and control presents a global public health priority because of the tremendous economic and healthcare burdens involved. This study was designed to investigate the status of HBV epidemics among household members, and to analyze the risk factors of HBV infection in couples and their offspring. A total of 1,035 couples and 541 offspring were included. We sourced the data from a population-based serological survey conducted by the Beijing Center for Disease Prevention and Control in 2014. Chi-square test and multiple logistic were used to assess differences in the prevalence of categorical variables, and identify risk factors for HBV infection and exposure in couples and offspring after controlling for confounding factors. In couples, the prevalence of chronic HBV infection was 4.3% and the prevalence of exposure 32.7%. The prevalence of chronic HBV infection in offspring was 0.9%, and the prevalence of exposure 8.7%. Sharing syringes with others and living with a spouse who was infected or exposed to HBV were associated with a significantly higher risk for transmission of HBV for couples. In offspring, maternal HBV infection was a significant risk factor for HBV exposure. This study provides evidence that having household members infected or exposed to HBV increases the risk of HBV transmission, and in order to achieve better control of HBV infection effective strategies must be established to prevent intra-familial transmission.
