[Detection of total and covalently closed circular HBV DNA in liver transplant recipients due to HBV-associated liver diseases].

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
objectiveTo investigate the levels of hepatitis B virus (HBV) total DNA and covalently closed circular (ccc) DNA in liver transplant recipients due to HBV-associated liver diseases and detemaine their clinical significance.
methodsSixty patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT) due to HBV-associated liver diseases were enrolled for the study. Levels of HBV total and ccc DNA in plasma, liver and PBMCs were measured by RT-PCR.
resultsThe ratio of male:female participants was 48:12. The mean age was 52.98+/-9.40 years old, and the median duration post-LT was 72 (25-128) months. 59 of the patients had no detectable HBV DNA in plasma.Four patients had detectable levels of total HBV DNA in PBMCs, but no detectable ccc DNA. Five patients had detectable levels of total HBV DNA in liver, and two of those also had detectable levels of ccc DNA. One patients who had detectable HBV DNA in PBMCs suffered HBV recurrence.
conclusionThe liver transplant recipients with detectable levels of HBV total and ccc DNA in PBMCs and liver should be considered high risk for HBV recurrence following LT.
