Sex difference in the associations among risk factors with hepatitis B and C infections in a large Taiwanese population study.
Observational study in Frontiers in public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Background: The prevalence rates of hepatitis B and C virus (HBV/HCV) infection are high in Taiwan, and both are common causes of chronic liver disease and its related complications. Therefore, the early detection of factors associated with HBV/HCV infection is important. The aim of this study was to explore these factors in a large cohort of Taiwanese participants in the Taiwan Biobank, and also to identify sex differences in these risk factors. Methods: It was an observational cohort study. The study enrolled 121,421 participants, and divided into four groups according to the presence or absence of HBV or HCV infection. Associations between risk factors with HBV or HCV infection were examined using multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: The mean age of the 121,421 enrolled participants (43,636 men and 77,785 women) was 49.9 ± 11.0 years. The participants were stratified into four groups according to those with ( Conclusion: In conclusion, sex differences were found among the risk factors for HBV and HCV infections in a large cohort of Taiwanese volunteers. When dealing with hepatitis B and hepatitis C, the physicians may need to pay attention to the differences between men and women to do different treatments.
