Genotype A2/adw2 Strain of Hepatitis B Virus in Turkey.
Article in Hepatitis monthly, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 AND
aimsPrevious studies have demonstrated the dominance of genotype D subtype ayw in patients with hepatitis B virus infection in Turkey. The aim of the present study is to report, for the first time, genotype A2 subtype adw2 of hepatitis B virus in a patient who is an inactive hepatitis B carrier in Turkey. MATERIALS AND
methodsHepatitis B virus DNA isolated from the serum sample was amplified by polymerase chain reaction. The polymerase gene segment of the hepatitis B virus was directly sequenced. A distance matrix/UPGMA comparison was used for phylogenetic analysis, and the genotype of the virus was identified accordingly. The subgenotype and subtype of hepatitis B virus were also detected.
resultsThe genotyping of the patient revealed that the isolated hepatitis B virus was genotype A2/adw2. DISCUSSION: The subtype is inconsistent with the previous data from Turkey; specifically, the identification of the A2/adw2 subtype of the hepatitis B virus in an inactive carrier is the first such case in Turkey. This finding suggests that the transmission of another genotype besides genotype D subtype ayw of the hepatitis B virus is possible in Turkey.
