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

aimTo investigate the dynamic changes of serum hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) levels apportioned by the same hepatic parenchyma cell volume (HPCV), namely, hepatic cell quantities.

methodsSerum HBsAg levels were detected by electrochemiluminescence and serum HBsAg levels apportioned by the same HPCV were figured out according to the theory of sphere geometry. HBsAg levels were compared among different liver inflammation grades, as well as different hepatic fibrosis stages.

resultsIn hepatitis B e antigen-negative chronic hepatitis B, serum HBsAg levels in liver histological inflammation grades 1-4 were 3.66 ± 0.40, 3.74 ± 0.35, 3.74 ± 0.26 and 3.71 ± 0.34 log10 COI (cut off index), respectively, and there were no differences before apportion (P = 0.640). Serum HBsAg levels apportioned by the same HPCV were 5.57 ± 0.62, 5.98 ± 0.65, 6.59 ± 0.50 and 6.81 ± 0.84 log10 COI, respectively, and there were significant differences after apportion (P < 0.001). Serum HBsAg levels in hepatic fibrosis stages I-IV were 3.66 ± 0.43, 3.75 ± 0.33, 3.71 ± 0.28 and 3.75 ± 0.26 log10 COI, respectively, and there were no differences before apportion (P = 0.513). Serum HBsAg levels apportioned by the same HPCV were 5.53 ± 0.66, 5.98 ± 0.53, 6.29 ± 0.46 and 7.06 ± 0.48 log10 COI, respectively, and there were significant differences after apportion (P < 0.001).

conclusionSerum HBsAg levels apportioned by the same HPCV (hepatic cell quantities), rather than serum HBsAg levels, increase with liver inflammation grades and hepatic fibrosis stages.
