1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveThis observational retrospective study aims at verifying hepatitis-B-virus (HBV) vaccination coverage in students vaccinated before and after 1992, in order to optimize health surveillance and vaccination recall.

methodsVaccination status was evaluated using the anti-HBs antibody titer (anti-HBs). Student t-test and the chi-square test were performed to identify the average age and the difference in antibody coverage between the two genders and in the two populations analyzed.

resultsOur study outlined a prevalence of 21.83% uncovered trainees among those vaccinated at age 12 and 45.03% among those vaccinated in neonatal age.

conclusionIn conclusion, our data showed persistent protection against HBV infection in healthcare students.
