Telephone Patient Navigation Increases Follow-Up Hepatitis B Care in the Postpartum Period for Immigrants Living in New York City.
Article in Journal of immigrant and minority health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Hepatitis B is a major public health threat which leads to serious liver disease or cancer and disproportionately impacts immigrants. Pregnant people are routinely tested for hepatitis B to prevent perinatal transmission but may themselves not receive appropriate education and referrals. People contacted as part of the local health department's perinatal hepatitis B prevention program were offered culturally appropriate telephone patient navigation services to test if this would improve adherence with postpartum hepatitis B care. Four-hundred and nine people were enrolled in the intervention. Using laboratory-reported surveillance data as the outcome measure, those receiving the intervention were 1.66 times as likely to see a hepatitis B care provider within 6 months of childbirth compared with those who did not. Culturally appropriate patient navigation can improve adherence with recommended hepatitis B care in the postpartum period. Health departments can use similar interventions to address liver health disparities in immigrant populations.
