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

Aim: In this study, we aimed to identify the priority group for promoting the implementation of hepatitis virus testing in Japanese workplaces. To this end, we determined (1) the workplace departments interested in hepatitis virus control, (2) the information required to implement testing, and (3) the most effective communication strategies and social networking services (SNS) for disseminating this information. Methods: We surveyed 2,000 executives and human resources (HR) personnel from various industries in Japan using an online questionnaire. Respondents were enquired about the information required for hepatitis testing, their use of information media and SNS, and their workplace hepatitis testing practices. Data were analyzed using co-occurrence networks, heat maps, and correspondence analysis to visualize the relationships between workplace positions and information needs, media, and SNS. Results: Education, training, and recruitment personnel, but not top managers, expressed strong interest in hepatitis virus testing and required information on medical facilities, communication, prejudice management, and support plans. These groups frequently use three typical Internet sites as information sources for HR. Business owners were less interested in hepatitis control. Conclusion: Our findings will contribute to developing social marketing strategies for promoting hepatitis virus control in the workplace. Despite the government's notice to strengthen measures against viral hepatitis, it may not be receiving enough attention from employers. A possible strategy is to share practical information with education and recruitment staff through HR-focused media. The validation of the effectiveness of this strategy remains warranted.
