Post-Exposure Hepatitis B-Treatment in Newborns: A Qualitative Study on Interprofessional Practices in Norway.
Article in Acta paediatrica (Oslo, Norway : 1992), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimChildren born to mothers with chronic Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection are at substantial risk of developing chronic HBV-infection without appropriate perinatal post-exposure treatment. This study aimed to explore midwives' and public health nurses' (PHNs) experiences with HBV-post-exposure treatment for infants and identify factors influencing the timeliness of follow-up care.
methodsData were collected through individual and focus group interviews with midwives and PHNs in hospitals and catchment-area municipalities and analysed with thematic analysis.
resultsThe study revealed significant vulnerabilities in the care pathway, primarily due to fragmented information sharing and a lack of seamless interprofessional collaboration between hospital and municipal healthcare services. Unclear roles, poor communication, and inconsistent documentation impede timely intervention. High workload and reliance on temporary staff further compromised continuity of care. Contrary, the within-hospital joint mother-child medical record and co-location of PHNs, general practitioners, and municipal antenatal care midwives enhanced implementation.
conclusionsDespite individual awareness of responsibilities, significant system-level challenges persist in ensuring effective interprofessional collaboration and holistic mother-infant pathways after perinatal HBV-exposure in Norway. System-based improvements, such as electronic pregnancy records and automated reporting to the National Immunisation Registry could improve documentation, easing communication and ensuring appropriate and timely follow-up for all high-risk infants.
