Prevalence and awareness of Hepatitis B virus infection in the United States: January 2017 - March 2020.
Article in Hepatology communications, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 23 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
backgroundPrevalence and awareness of HBV infection are important national indicators of progress toward hepatitis B elimination.
methodsNational Health and Nutrition Examination Survey participants were examined for laboratory evidence of HBV infection (positive antibody to HBcAg and HBsAg), and interviewed to determine awareness of HBV infection. Estimates of HBV infection prevalence and awareness were calculated for the US population.
findingsAmong National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey participants aged 6 years and older evaluated from January 2017 through March 2020, an estimated 0.2% had HBV infection; of these 50% were aware of their infection.
