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
Introduction: Health personnel are more susceptible to contamination by the hepatitis B virus due to occupational risk and need special care. Previous studies have found, however, that not all health personnel were fully vaccinated against hepatitis B, as recommended by the Ministry of Health. Objectives: To analyze the factors associated with full hepatitis B vaccination and to evaluate post-vaccination serological response among health personnel. Methods: Cross-sectional study, conducted in the municipality of Santo Antônio de Jesus, Bahia, Brazil. The sample consisted of 453 health personnel from primary and medium-complex care. Results: The prevalence of full hepatitis B vaccination among health personnel was 56.9%. The variables associated with the prevalence of complete hepatitis B vaccination in the final analysis model were: working in primary health care (prevalence ratio = 1.31; 95% CI 1.04-1.65) and medicine preparation or administration (prevalence ratio = 3.53; 95% CI 2.17-5.74). Around 72% of those who reported being shot with all three doses of the hepatitis B vaccine had been tested for circulating antibodies in their blood and 88.4% were immune to the hepatitis B virus. Conclusions: The familiarity provided by routine primary health care and the awareness of occupational risk was associated with beter adherence to the hepatitis B vaccine schedule among health personnel. Nearly a third of those who were shot with the three doses of hepatitis B vaccine were not immunized, reinforcing the need for anti-HBs testing.
