Detection of HBV Genotype C in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients from North East India: a Brief Report
Article in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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 and Objectives: Newer genotypes of HBV have been reported from India. This study was aimed to determine the circulating genotypes of HBV in hepatocellular carcinoma patients from three different geographical locations of India. Methods: 141 HBV related HCC cases were included from three different hospitals across the country. Genotyping of HBV was performed by PCR using type specific primers specially designed in 70 cases. Samples of interest were confirmed by direct sequencing of the precore/core region of HBV genome. Results: Genotypes could be detected in 40 (57.14%) out of the 70 HBV DNA positive HCC cases by type specific primers. HBV genotype D was documented in 20 (50%), genotype A in 10 (25.0%) and genotype C in 10 (25.0%) of these HCC cases. Genotype C of HBV was detected only in the samples from North East India. No significant difference was observed for the biochemical profile. Conclusion: Although Genotype D is the major HBV genotype in India followed by A, detection of HBV genotypes C in HCC patients indicates a changing epidemiology of the virus in India that may require region based management of the virus.
