Hepatitis B vaccine coverage in health care students: a cross-sectional study in Vietnam.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 B virus (HBV) remains a significant global health concern, with healthcare students being at elevated risk of infection during their internships in healthcare settings. This study aimed to determine the percentage of healthcare students vaccinated against hepatitis B and the factors associated with vaccination status. A cross-sectional study was conducted among healthcare students at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam between February and May 2023 using a self-reported questionnaire. Participants were selected through stratified and random sampling. A multivariable analysis logistic regression was performed to determine the association between several factors with vaccination status. A total of 225 participants took part in the study. We found that 89.8% of the participants had received at least one dose of the HBV vaccine, while 63.3% had completed the entire vaccine schedule. Students with sufficient knowledge of HBV were 2.68 times more likely to be vaccinated (p < 0.05), while those practicing effective HBV prevention had 8.79 times higher vaccination rates (p < 0.001) compared to others. The rate of HBV vaccination among healthcare students remains suboptimal. Targeted health education that addresses knowledge gaps, enhances motivation, tackles vaccination barriers, and emphasizes preventive measures before internships could substantially improve vaccination coverage in this group.
