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

The adherence to the CDC guideline on screening non-U.S. born persons for hepatitis B virus infection was assessed. A retrospective cohort study was conducted at University of Washington primary care clinics using the electronic medical records. Persons from hepatitis B virus prevalent countries were identified using country of origin and language. Of 2329 eligible for screening, only 617 (26.5%) were screened. The prevalence of HBsAg was 35 (5.7%). Among women of reproductive age (18-44 years, n = 906), 238 (26.3%) were screened, and 7 (2.9%) were HBsAg positive. Low screening practice for chronic hepatitis B infection, and high infection prevalence among those screened was noted. The findings indicate that potentially three out of every one detected case may be missed. Urgent efforts are needed to scale up and consistently implement HBV screening at primary care clinics.
