Viral hepatitis: review of arthritic complications and therapy for arthritis in the presence of active HBV/HCV.
Review in Current rheumatology reports, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Chronic infection with hepatitis B (HBV) or C (HCV) virus, which currently affect approximately 7 % of the world population, is encountered with the same frequency among patients with arthritis starting biological or non-biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Treatment with biological agents, including anti-tumor necrosis factor agents, rituximab, and abatacept, without appropriate antiviral therapy has been associated with reactivation of HBV infection which in some cases can lead to life-threatening complications, indicating the need for appropriate screening and treatment of these patients. In this review, the latest data regarding HBV or HCV-related arthritic complications and treatment of rheumatic diseases in the presence of chronic HBV or HCV infection will be critically presented.
