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

There are eight genotypes A-H of hepatitis B virus (HBV). Most genotypes are further divided into subgenotypes. Genotypes and subgenotypes influence the natural course of infection and therapy. We analysed nine sera from HBV carriers from Peru. Using the small hepatitis B surface protein HBs, all samples could be grouped to genotype F. Sequencing of three complete Peruvian genomes showed that HBV from Peru belongs to subgenotype F1. Two of the genomes from HBeAg positive carriers coded surprisingly for a stop codon in the polymerase-ORF leading to a translational stop after 213 and 214 aa, respectively. The third isolate from an HBe Ag positive carrier had three deletions: aa 1-53 and aa 111-142 in preS. In addition nt. 2002-2087 in the HBc-ORF were deleted, leading to an HBc starting at aa 66.
