Long-Term Efficacy of Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate Therapy in Nucleos(t)ide-Experienced Chronic Hepatitis B Patients.
Article in Clinical drug investigation, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesTenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) therapy is a therapeutic option for nucleos(t)ide analogue (NA)-experienced chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV). In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of TDF alone compared with the efficacy of TDF plus additional NA combinations in NA-experienced CHB patients.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study included 108 patients with a serum HBV DNA level above 5.0 log10 IU/ml who were treated with TDF alone (monotherapy group) or TDF combined with additional NAs (combination therapy group) for 30 months.
resultsAt month 30, both therapies resulted in the suppression of HBV DNA levels: 66 of 66 patients (100 %) in the monotherapy group and 40 of 42 patients (95.23 %) in the combination therapy group achieved virologic suppression. Kaplan-Meier curves revealed median times for virologic suppression of 3.12 months in the monotherapy group and 5.23 months in the combination therapy group (p = 0.699). The probability of virologic suppression was comparable between treatment groups. At month 6, more patients achieved normal alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels in the monotherapy group (p = 0.029). During the treatment period, no patients experienced severe renal dysfunction.
conclusionTDF monotherapy and TDF plus additional NAs have comparable antiviral efficacy in CHB patients after NA treatment failure.
