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

objectiveA meta-analysis was carried out to systematically evaluate the correlation between hepatitis B virus (hepatitis B virus, HBV) infection and risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (non-Hodgkin lymphoma, NHL).

methodsWe searched Medline, EMBASE, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Chinese Journal Full-text Database, Chinese scientific journals full text databases and collected information about HBV infection and risk of NHL associated case-control studies. Two reviewers extracted useful information which were included in the study independently, and Revman 5.2 was used for meta-analysis.

resultsA total of 24 studies were included in this research. Meta-analysis showed that among all of the included studies the heterogeneity were existed (I(2) = 76%, P<0.05). With random effects model the OR was 2.39 (95% CI, 1.93-3.96), indicating infection rate in NHL patients with HBV was higher than that in the control group. Subgroup analysis according to ethnicity suggested that HBV infection were associated with NHL risk both in Asian (OR = 2.46, 95% CI: 2.01, 3.00, P<0.001) and Caucasian (OR = 2.15, 95% CI: 1.37, 3.37, P<0.001) population.

conclusionHBV infection may increase the risk of NHL, but it still need a large number of experiments and epidemiological studies to verify.
