Prevalence of hepatitis B surface antibody among previously vaccinated healthcare workers in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

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
Healthcare workers (HCW) have high occupational risk for hepatitis B and Uzbekistan held two HCW vaccination campaigns in 2015 and 2022. Hepatitis B antibody testing (anti-HBs) after Hepatitis B (HepB) vaccination is recommended by the U.S. CDC and WHO for HCW, but Uzbekistan does not have such a policy. In 2023, we randomly selected HCW from the campaign registries. Participants who agreed were interviewed at their workplaces. Vaccination doses were self-reported. Testing for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), Total hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc), and anti-HBs were concurrently performed. We used multivariable Poisson regression to assess factors associated with anti-HBs ≥10 mIU/mL. Of 334 participants, 205 were vaccinated in 2015 and 129 in 2022. Median age was 40 years (interquartile range 35-49 years), and 87% were female. Most (71%) reported having completed the three doses, 21% two doses and 7% one dose. Testing revealed that 5% had an active HBV infection, 4% had a resolved infection, and 91% had detectable vaccine-derived antibodies. Among those (
