1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Incarceration has been known to increase the transmission of some blood-borne viruses such as hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Correctional centres are thought to be the reservoir of these infections, thereby constituting a risk to the larger society when the individuals are released. Objectives: The study determined the seroprevalence of HBV, HCV, and HIV and associated factors for infections among people living in a correctional centre (PLCC) in Southern Nigeria. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study involving PLCC. An objectively structured questionnaire was administered to obtain socio-demographic information and data about the history of recreational drug use, previous incarceration, and duration of incarceration. Blood samples were screened for hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus and HIV. Results: A total of 302 PLCC participated in this study with a male: female ratio of 12:1. The sero-prevalence of hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV) and HIV infections were 6.6%, 2% and 3.6% respectively. The co-infection rate of HBV/ HCV was 0.3% and HIV/HBV co-infection also 0.3%. There was a significant association between gender, ethnicity, monthly income and HBV status. History of genital rashes/discharge was also significantly associated with HCV status while 'HIV status' was associated with sharing of personal belongings, history of genital rashes/discharge and cigarette smoking. Conclusion: HBV, HCV and HIV infections are prevalent among PLCC. The infections were associated with some socio-demographic and clinical variables.
