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

A 79-year-old Japanese woman was diagnosed with acute hepatitis B based on laboratory tests showing positivity for IgM-class antibody against hepatitis B virus (HBV) core and hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) as well as elevated transaminases. A phylogenetic analysis revealed that the HBV strain obtained from the patient belonged to genotype D/subgenotype D1, similar to strains circulating in foreign countries but different from those in Japan. The clinical course was favorable. HBsAg became negative within 10 weeks after the onset. To our knowledge, this is the first report of acute hepatitis B caused by subgenotype D1 HBV in Japan.
