Hepatocellular carcinoma screening practices among patients with chronic hepatitis B by Canadian gastroenterologists and hepatologists: An online survey.
Article in Canadian liver journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundxpert guidelines recommend hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) surveillance among patients with high-risk chronic hepatitis B (CHB); however, physician screening practices are often variable.
methodsAn online survey of HCC screening practice was distributed to members of the Canadian Association for the Study of the Liver. Data were analyzed using appropriate statistical tests with
resultsOf 71 respondents, 86% (
conclusionsHCC screening practices with hepatitis B patients vary widely among Canadian specialists, especially in unique populations with limited data to inform screening recommendations. Implementation of an automatic recall system could potentially increase HCC surveillance.
