1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundHepatitis B virus remains an important occupational risk for healthcare trainees. Objective serology can verify protection and inform pre-placement clearance policies.

aimTo assess hepatitis B vaccination status, occupational exposure, and serological protection among health sciences students in Albania.

methodsCross-sectional study (April-June 2024) at the University of Vlore. Students completed a structured questionnaire (

resultsAll tested participants were hepatitis B surface antigen negative (

conclusionMost students had serological protection, but a meaningful minority lacked protective titers. Universities and training sites should implement pre-placement HB clearance with documented vaccination, mandatory anti-HBs testing, and structured catch-up/booster pathways.
