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

objectiveTenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and entecavir (ETV) have been accepted as the standard treatment drugs for hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation. We aim to compare the efficacy and safety of TDF and ETV initial treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the efficacy and safety of TDF treatment on 33 CHB patients and of ETV treatment on 65 CHB patients by comparing the HBV DNA levels, HBV DNA undetectable rate, HBV DNA negative conversion multi-factor analysis, alanine amino transferase (ALT) normalization rate, and the adverse event incidence at weeks 4, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72 before and after treatment in each group.

resultsThe HBV DNA levels in the ETV group were significantly lower than that in the TDF group at week 4 (95.05 ± 39.49 versus 103.3 ± 80.25 U/L, P = 0.005). The differences in HBV DNA levels at the other times between these two treatment groups were not statistically significant. No significant differences were observed with HBV DNA undetectable rate and ALT normalization rate between the two groups (P = 0.114, 0.656, respectively). HBV DNA negativity multi-factor analysis showed that the differences in TDF and ETV treatment were not statistically significant (P = 0.116). Therefore, the proportion of Creatine Kinase (CK) levels that were 2 times over the upper limit of normal (2ULN) showed no significant differences in any time points between the two groups (P > 0.05).

conclusionTDF and ETV treatment both exhibited rapid inhibiting effects on HBV DNA replication in the early phase of naïve CHB patients in Mainland China.
