Figure 1 PRISMA flow diagram. The PRISMA flow diagram outlines the selection process for studies included in the systematic review on hepatitis B virus prevalence in Albania. The diagram details each step, from the initial identification of studies through database searches and other sources, to the final inclusion of 14 studies that met the inclusion criteria.

Figure 2 Hepatitis B virus prevalence rates over time. The scatter plot and trend line illustrate the changes in hepatitis B virus prevalence rates in Albania over the years. Data from key studies, summarized in Table 1, show a clear declining trend in hepatitis B virus prevalence from 1993 to 2010.
