The impact of glucose tolerance state on seropositivity rate after hepatitis B vaccination.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. 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
Immunization is recommended for people with diabetes mellitus (DM), but little information is available on their seropositivity rates. To determine the impact of glucose tolerance state on seropositivity rate after hepatitis B vaccination, we included 7645 adult participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005-2016 who reported three doses of hepatitis B vaccine and were seropositive for anti-hepatitis B surface antibody (≥ 12.0 mIU/mL), after exclusion of those positive for anti-hepatitis B core antibody and/or hepatitis B surface antigen. We classified the states of glucose tolerance as normal glucose tolerance (NGT, 61.68%), abnormal glucose tolerance (AGT, 26.02%), or DM (13.30%). We observed a stepwise decline in hepatitis B seropositivity rate from NGT (53.64%) to AGT (45.52%) to DM (28.84%) (P < 0.0001). We confirmed these results after standardization for age and BMI (P < 0.0001 for all subgroup analyses) and in subgroup analyses by gender and racial/ethnic group. Dysregulated glucose metabolism is associated with a decreased seropositivity rate after hepatitis B vaccination. Our observations suggest that regular follow-up screening for anti-hepatitis B surface antibody, with additional booster vaccination as necessary, is especially important in patients with DM. Whether a similar phenomenon exits for other vaccines, especially COVID-19, remains to be investigated.
