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

Background: Sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP, SLC10A1) is a hepatocyte receptor for hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. The natural NTCP S267F variant causes loss of NTCP HBV receptor function. We assessed the association of S267F with HBV resistance, HBV infection clearance, and HBV-related cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods: We tested the effects of S267F in 1117 Han Chinese patients with various HBV infection outcomes using multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: The frequency of S267F (T allele) was higher in HBV-resistant healthy controls (n = 179, 4.0%) compared to HBV-infected patients (n = 648, 1.5%); odds ratio (OR) 0.32 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.15-0.68; P = .003; dominant model). 267F variant genotypes were also associated with reduced risk for cirrhosis (n = 192, 0.5%) and HCC (n = 258, 1.0%) compared to those with chronic HBV infection (n = 202, 3.0%); OR 0.15 (95% CI, 0.03-0.70) and OR 0.21 (95% CI, 0.062-0.72), respectively. There was no association of the S267F variant with spontaneous HBV clearance. Conclusion: The S267F variant for the HBV cell-entry receptor NTCP was associated with increased resistance to HBV infection and decreased risk for cirrhosis and liver cancer among those with chronic HBV infection.
