Improvement in the Microbiological Diagnosis of Hepatitis D on the Mediterranean Coast of Southeastern Spain: A Repeated Cross-Sectional Survey.
Article in Health science reports, 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
Background: Hepatitis D virus (HDV) remains underdiagnosed, and universal screening of HBsAg-positive patients is recommended. We assessed changes in HDV diagnostic capacity across public hospitals in the Valencian Community, Spain. Methods: Repeated cross-sectional surveys were conducted in 2024 and 2025. Analyses included the 19 hospitals participating in both years and evaluated anti-HDV testing, HDV RNA detection, reflex testing, and clinician notification. Results: Anti-HDV testing increased from 84.2% to 94.7%, HDV RNA testing from 68.4% to 84.2%, reflex testing from 43.8% to 77.8% ( Conclusions: HDV diagnostic capacity improved substantially, particularly in smaller hospitals. Further organizational measures are needed to achieve universal double-reflex testing and timely communication of positive results.
