Seroprevalence of Hepatitis A virus infections among schoolchildren in Amran Governorate, Yemen.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Hepatitis A virus (HAV) is the predominant cause of acute viral hepatitis worldwide; however, data on HAV prevalence among schoolchildren are limited. This study aimed to investigate HAV seroprevalence among schoolchildren in Amran governorate. This is a cross-sectional study that was carried out among 299 students between October 2023 and July 2024. The blood specimens were collected, and the anti-HAV antibody was detected by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique. Of 299 students screened, the seropositivity rate for HAV was 4 (1.3%). A higher rate of HAV was detected among male students 3 (1.6%), in the age group of 5-8 years 1 (11.1%), and in those whose parents had a secondary certificate 2 (2.3%). Moreover, a higher seroprevalence of HAV was observed among students who drank untreated water (1.6%) and those with a history of hepatitis A infection (6.7%). Additionally, this result revealed that children whose families had a history of HAV infection had the highest risk factors for HAV infection (OR = 8.9667), and those whose family members had an HAV infection (OR = 1.9029). To combat the HAV requires the implementation of preventive measures aimed at improving hygiene and sanitation, advocating widespread vaccination, and a rapid response to outbreaks of the virus.
