A Proactive Policy to Eliminate Viral Hepatitis Infection: Five-Year Results for the Subdistrict Model in Thailand.
Article in Journal of community health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The objective of this study was to ascertain hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis C (HCV) infection rates in individuals toward the early initiation of treatment and prevention of developing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This cross-sectional study was performed on 2084 participants from two subdistricts in Chiang Mai and Lampang provinces, northern Thailand. Screening for viral hepatitis in the general population was conducted at subdistrict health-promoting hospitals in Nong Pa Krang, in the suburb of Chiang Mai city, and Thoenburi, a subdistrict in the rural area of Lampang province, northern Thailand. Ninety-one (4.4%) participants tested positive for either HBV or HCV, with 3.3% of all participants infected with HBV and 1.1% infected with HCV. Treatment follow-up was 29.0% of HBV and 54.5% of HCV. A proactive approach to eliminate viral hepatitis can be carried out at the subdistrict level in Thailand. Success could increase participation in other subdistricts in a cascade-like manner by 2030. The identified factors of success are leadership by the local government supported by the Local Health Fund and Village Health Volunteers.
