Self-reported hepatitis B testing among noninstitutionalized adults in the United States before the implementation of universal screening, 2013-2017: A nationwide population-based study.

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
In 2023, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended universal screening for hepatitis B virus (HBV); however, the proportion of US adults screened before implementing this recommendation is unknown. We analysed nationally representative data from the National Health Interview Survey (2013-2017) on self-reported HBV testing among noninstitutionalized US adults ≥18 years. We employed Poisson logistic regression to identify factors associated with self-reported testing, using a conceptual framework that included four overarching factors: sociodemographic characteristics, healthcare access, health-seeking behaviours and experiences, and access to internet-based health information. Among 149,628 survey respondents, the self-reported HBV testing rate was 27.2% (95% CI 26.2-28.7) and increased by 1.7% from 2013 to 2017 (p = .006). In adjusted analysis, health-seeking behaviours and experiences had the strongest associations of self-reported testing including a history of hepatitis (AOR 2.68, 95% CI 1.92-3.73), receipt of hepatitis B vaccination (AOR 5.11, 95% CI 4.61-5.68) and prior testing for hepatitis C (AOR 9.14, 95% CI 7.97-10.48) and HIV (AOR 2.69, 95% CI 2.44-2.97). Other factors associated with testing included being male (AOR 1.14, 95% CI 1.03-1.26), ages 30-44 years (AOR 1.37, 95% CI 1.17-1.61), 45-60 years (AOR 1.55, 95% CI 1.30-1.80) and ≥60 years (AOR 1.53, 95% CI 1.28-1.84), residence in the Western US region (AOR 1.23, 95% CI 1.06-1.43), and access to internet-based health information (AOR 1.32, 95% CI 1.18-1.47). Being Hispanic was associated with lower odds of testing (AOR 0.80, 95% CI 0.66-0.97). These findings may help guide optimal HBV screening in the universal testing era.
