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

HBV is a small, enveloped DNA virus that replicates by reverse transcription via an RNA intermediate. Current anti-HBV treatment regiments that include interferon α and nucleos(t)ide analogs have insufficient efficiency, are of long duration and can be accompanied by systemic side effects. Though HBV RNaseH is essential for viral replication, it is unexploited as a drug target against HBV. RNaseH inhibitors that actively block viral replication would represent an important addition to the potential new drugs for treating HBV infection. Here we describe two methods to measure the activity of RNaseH inhibitors. DNA oligonucleotide-directed RNA cleavage assay allows low-throughput screening of compounds for potential anti-HBV RNaseH activity in vitro. Analysis of preferential inhibition of plus-polarity DNA strand synthesis by HBV RNaseH inhibitors in a cell culture model of HBV replication can be used to validate the efficiency of these compounds to block viral replication.
