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

Viral hepatitis poses huge burden to the health care delivery system as well as to the economy of Bangladesh. Hepatitis E virus is the leading cause of acute hepatitis in this country, however with the improvement of economic status and sanitation this seems to be on the decline. Hepatitis B virus remains the leading cause in all forms of chronic liver diseases in this country. This virus has been extensively studied in Bangladesh, including from epidemiology to pathogenosis. Clinical trials with innovative therapy conducted in Bangladesh have shown promise. Hepatitis C virus follows hepatitis B virus as the second commonest cause of chronic liver diseases here. However patients in Bangladesh have started benefitting from the local generic versions of the newly introduced direct acting anti-virals. HOW TO CITE THIS ARTICLE: Al-Mahtab M.
