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

introductionEvidence shows that treatment for hepatitis B virus (HBV) can suppress viral load. Among the factors directly linked to therapeutic success is adherence to the treatment. Several instruments to assess adherence are available, but they are not validated for use in chronic hepatitis B. The purpose of this paper was to adapt and validate the "Assessment of Adherence to Antiretroviral Therapy Questionnaire-HIV" (CEAT-VIH) for patients with chronic hepatitis B (referred to herein as CEAT-HBV).

methodsThe validity of the adapted questionnaire evidence was established through concurrent, criterion, and construct validities.

resultsWe found negative and significant correlation between the domain "degree of compliance to antiviral therapy" assessed by CEAT-HBV and the Morisky test (r = -0.62, P < 0.001) and between the domain "barriers to adherence" and HBV viral load (r = -0.42, P < 0.001). In terms of the construct's discriminative capacity, scores greater than or equal to 80 detected antiviral therapy success, which are necessary for the prediction of an undetectable HBV viral load. Thus, a cutoff value of 80.5 was set with a value of 81% for sensitivity and 67% for specificity.

conclusionThe CEAT-HBV identified 43% (n = 79) non-adherent patients and was shown to be a useful tool in clinical practice.
