Economic evaluation of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate prophylaxis to prevent mother-to-child transmission of Hepatitis B virus infection: evidence from a lower-middle income country.

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
No cost-effectiveness information of preventive strategies for mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of hepatitis B virus (HBV) has existed for policy decision making. This study aimed to compare the cost-effectiveness of alternative strategies to prevent MTCT of HBV in Vietnam. Cost-utility analysis using a hybrid decision-tree and Markov model were performed from healthcare system and societal perspectives. Preventive strategies included HBV universal vaccination (S1), hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) for infants of mothers with HBeAg( +) (S2), HBIG for infants of mothers with HBsAg( +) (S3), tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) for mothers with high viral load (S4) and mothers with HBeAg( +) (S5), and the current practice (S6) with HBV vaccine in all infants and TDF for high viral load mothers. The current practice was dominant to all preventive strategies with interventions in only infants for both perspectives. In contrast, the strategies S4 and S5 were dominant to the current practice with incremental net monetary benefit varying from $33.94 to $70.64 under a healthcare system perspective and from $44.22 to $93.71 under a societal perspective. Addition of HBIG in infants born to mothers infected HBV and tenofovir prophylaxis for mothers with positive HBeAg was the most cost-effective strategy to prevent vertical transmission of HBV in Vietnam.
