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

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) clone 4B replicated much more efficiently than clone 2A of the same genotype. Introduction of its T1753C, A1762T, G1764A, and C1766T core promoter mutations into the 2A genome greatly enhanced genome replication and suppressed HBeAg expression. Here we show that these effects are mediated by transcriptional up regulation of pregenomic RNA and suppression of precore RNA. Analysis of chimeric constructs suggested that the 5' end of the 2A core gene conferred higher level of pregenomic RNA, but less core protein and genome replication relative to the 4B sequence. Genome maturity of secreted virions was reduced by mutations present in the core protein of the 2A genome but enhanced by mutations found in the 4B core protein. The 4B core protein migrated faster than that of clone 2A. The possible links among the various phenotypes and the responsible mutations remain to be established.
