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 DNA was extracted from serum of a chronic carrier and polymerase chain reaction was performed on S gene. Direct sequencing showed a variant HBsAg with additional 4-amino acid insertion, and clone sequencing confirmed the mixture of variant HBsAg and wildtype HBsAg. Of 16 clones with 12-nucleotide insertion, 15 clones had identical AGAACAACACAA insertion between nucleotide 494 and nucleotide 495, and one clone had GGAACAACTCAA insertion in the same position plus 3-nucleotide deletion from nucleotide 491 to nucleotide 493. S114T, C121Y, T126S/A, Q129K, G130R, T131N, M133T, G145R, N146D substitution and premature stop codon were also found in those clones. However, the origin of HBV with 4-amino acid insertion in HBsAg was unclear.
