Perceived Supportive Care Needs of Adolescents With Chronic Hepatitis B in a Resource-limited Setting.
Article in Journal of patient experience, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In Ghana, adolescents are disproportionately affected by hepatitis B. However, studies into adolescents' supportive care needs are lacking. The purpose of this exploratory qualitative study was to explore the supportive care needs of 18 adolescents with chronic hepatitis B who were receiving care at a tertiary hospital in Ghana. The data were processed using QSR Nvivo version 11.0 and analyzed using the Braun and Clarke procedure for thematic data analysis. According to the findings, adolescents with chronic hepatitis B have unmet supportive care needs ranging from information to financial need, psychological support, and social support. Explicitly, participants reportedly had a dilemma as to whether to keep or terminate their pregnancy to prevent transmission of the virus to their newborns. Physicians and nurses were perceived to be preoccupied with medication prescription and laboratory request writing rather than giving pretest and posttest counseling following diagnosis. This study highlights the need to have a tailor-made liver care for adolescents. Pretest and posttest counseling for adolescents with hepatitis B are also required.
