Prevalence of hepatitis D virus infection among hepatitis B virus-infected individuals in India.
Article in Indian journal of gastroenterology : official journal of the Indian Society of Gastroenterology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundThe prevalence of hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection among persons with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection shows geographic variation and has declined in recent times in several regions. In India, studies during the 1990s showed highly variable anti-HDV prevalence rates among HBV-infected persons; however, data using molecular testing and recent data are not available. We therefore studied the prevalence of HDV infection in HBV-infected patients using tests for anti-HDV and HDV ribonucleic acid (RNA).
methodsTwo cohorts of patients with HBV infection were enrolled (cohort A, n = 150, January to December 2012; cohort B, n = 168, October 2013 to April 2014). Sera from cohort A were tested for IgG anti-HDV using three enzyme immunoassays and those from cohort B for IgG anti-HDV using an enzyme immunoassay and for HDV RNA using a real-time amplification assay.
resultsOf the 318 subjects (259 male; mean age 36.9 years), 161 (50.6 %) had chronic hepatitis B, 101 (31.8 %) had cirrhosis, 52 (16.3 %) had acute viral hepatitis, and 4 (1.3 %) had acute liver failure. In cohort A, all specimens tested negative for anti-HDV antibodies using all the three assays. In cohort B, all specimens tested negative for anti-HDV IgG as well as HDV RNA.
conclusionOur data indicate that HDV infection is uncommon in northern India.
