Current Epidemiological Trends and Public Health Challenges of Hepatitis A Virus Infection in Thailand.
Review in The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene, 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
Hepatitis A virus (HAV) remains a global public health concern, particularly in areas with poor sanitation. Thailand, once hyperendemic, has experienced a significant decline in HAV prevalence over the past five decades because of socioeconomic progress and improved public health measures. The median age of seroprevalence has increased, reflecting a shift to low endemicity. Notably, the most recent 2024 study reveals that the epidemiological pattern of hepatitis A in Thailand now corresponds to a low endemicity classification. Although HAV outbreaks were common from 1984 to 2014, recent cases are largely confined to high-risk groups, such as men who have sex with men and immigrants. However, low HAV vaccination coverage persists because of high costs and exclusion from the Expanded Program on Immunization. Addressing these gaps through improved vaccine access and cost-effectiveness analysis is crucial. This review examines Thailand's changing HAV epidemiology, the impact of public health interventions, and the need for enhanced vaccination strategies to sustain low prevalence, prevent outbreaks, and curb cross-border transmission.
