Trends of infections and mortality due to hepatitis B virus (2005-2022) and the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic: a population-based study in Poland.
Article in Clinical and experimental hepatology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Aim of the study: To analyze the hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and mortality in Poland according to sociodemographic characteristics, trends over time, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on hepatitis B epidemiology. Material and methods: We examined HBV infection cases and deaths reported by national registries and used Joinpoint analysis to estimate time trends in the years 2005-2021. To assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on HBV infection, we used monthly information and compared 2020-2022 with 2019. Results: The Joinpoint analysis showed that in Poland between 2005 and 2021, there were pronounced decreasing trends of acute HBV infection, and during the pandemic period, acute HBV infection dramatically decreased (annual percent change, APC Conclusions: During the COVID-19 pandemic, a sharp decrease in HBV diagnosis rates in Poland, especially in acute cases, was observed. However, trends of hepatitis B infection require further monitoring. It is necessary to introduce a national screening program that also encompasses the population of migrants and improve the linkage to care.
