New progress towards elimination of mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B virus in China.
Article in Hepatology international, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundWe conducted an evaluation on the potential data resources for the elimination of hepatitis B virus (HBV) mother-to-child transmission in China, so as to provide reference for WHO and other countries in the validation of HBV elimination of mother-to-child transmission (EMTCT) in a real-world large country setting.
methodsWe used the indicators set out in WHO Interim guidance for country validation of viral hepatitis elimination as the benchmark to evaluate the availability of data and progress against indicators for the elimination validation in China. We used descriptive analysis to illustrate the status of all indicators and parameters.
resultsAccording to the indicators which are recommended by WHO for HBV EMTCT validation, the national data in China are attainable, though not for HBV DNA testing for the HBsAg-positive mothers and their subsequent management. The remaining challenges for China are to consider how the national serosurvey might be conducted in future in the context of low HBV prevalence among children under 5 years; to collect systematically the programmatic impact data; to strengthen multi-sectoral collaboration among immunization, maternal and child health, hospital services, as well as other stakeholders.
conclusionThe available data on HBV EMTCT are sufficient to support the validation of the elimination of HBV mother-to-child transmission in China.
