Non coverage of Hepatitis B immunization among children and its predictors in northeastern states of India: A multiscale geographically weighted regression analysis.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 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
Background: Hepatitis B, a viral infection, is a vaccine-preventable disease and is a significant public health challenge globally. Child immunization is a safe and effective way to prevent Hepatitis B virus infection. The Universal Immunization Programme (UIP) of India, which effectively reduces the chronic burden, aims to reach immunization of nearly 2.67 crore newborns annually. Under this program, the Hepatitis B vaccine was introduced in 2007-2008. This study aims to assess the level and trend and identify spatial hotspots of noncoverage of Hepatitis B immunization and its predictors in northeastern states of India. Methods: This study used cross-sectional survey data from the National Family Health Survey-5 (2019-21) of 6380 children aged 12-23 months in northeastern states. We used Moran's Results: Spatial hotspot analysis results showed that noncoverage of Hepatitis B immunization was found in most of the districts in Nagaland, Manipur, Eastern and Central regions in Meghalaya, Cachar valley districts and the lower part in Assam, and a few districts in Arunachal Pradesh. Besides, MGWR results indicated that the proportion of the poorest wealth index, children of higher birth order, mothers with no media exposure, and those seeking care from private healthcare facilities were significant predictors for noncoverage of Hepatitis B immunization. Conclusion: Noncoverage of Hepatitis B immunization highlighted the clustered levels in northeastern states of India. This study provides valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders in designing community-specific interventions, formulating policies, and conducting epidemiological research.
