The State of Hepatitis B in Florida in 2025: Current Challenges and Health Disparities.
Review in Journal of viral hepatitis, 2026. 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) infection remains a significant public health challenge in Florida despite advancements in prevention and treatment. This review analyses the current epidemiology, disease burden and management strategies for hepatitis B in Florida as of 2025, drawing on state surveillance data and recent public health reports. Florida continues to experience higher rates of both acute and chronic hepatitis B compared to national averages, with pronounced racial, ethnic and geographic disparities. Rural areas face disproportionately high rates of acute infections, while chronic infections are more concentrated in urban centres. Despite established prevention strategies-including vaccination, perinatal prevention programs and adult testing initiatives-critical gaps persist in service delivery and care engagement. This review also highlights the growing challenges posed by declining childhood immunisation rates and limited harm reduction services in high-burden areas. Finally, we examine Florida's progress toward the World Health Organization's 2030 hepatitis elimination targets, underscoring the urgent need for expanded screening, improved linkage to care and strategies that address the social determinants driving transmission.
