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

introductionThe effect of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection on pregnancy is not clear. Hepatitis B virus infection of newborns in the case of natural delivery occurs in 70-90% of cases. Risk factors of infection are the presence of serum HBeAg and HBV DNA level above 10 MATERIAL AND

methodsThe course of 104 pregnancies in 69 women infected with HBV was monitored. Hepatitis B virus viral load was determined by PCR using the AmpliPre/COBAS TaqMan HBV system. Neonatal HBV infection and the health condition at birth and during the first year of life were analyzed.

resultsAll included pregnant women were HBeAg negative. No clinically significant disorders were observed during pregnancy. Viral load measured in the third trimester did not exceed 10

conclusionsLow viral load in pregnant women infected with HBV and the absence of HBeAg reduce the probability of infection of newborns. Proper prevention carried out after delivery seems to be the most important method to prevent HBV infection in newborns.
