Epidemiology of Hepatitis D Virus and Associated Factors in Patients Referred to Level Three Hepatitis Clinic, Fars Province, Southern Iran.
Article in Iranian journal of medical sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: Hepatitis D is caused by the hepatitis D virus (HDV) and affects those who have already been infected with the hepatitis B virus (HBV). The epidemiology of hepatitis D in Fars Province, Iran, is poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the epidemiology of HDV and its associated factors in patients attending Shahid Motahari Clinic, affiliated with Shiraz University of Medical Sciences (Shiraz, Iran). Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted in Shiraz, Iran, from 2001 to 2023. This study screened individuals with low HBV viral load and elevated liver enzymes for HDV. Pearson Chi square, Fisher's exact, and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to examine the univariate associations between hepatitis D and various risk factors. Risk factors with P<0.2 were analyzed using multiple logistic regression to estimate odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The variables were compared between the HDV Conclusion: Age was a significant risk factor for HDV infection, while a history of dental procedures appeared to be a protective factor. To better understand the epidemiology of HDV, further comprehensive research is necessary, focusing on diverse demographic groups in different regions.
