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

introductionFew large-scale investigations on genotype (GT) distribution of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in Hunan Province, China, are reported. MATERIAL AND

methodsWe recruited all of the 952 patients in the census register of Hunan Province who were first diagnosed with HCV infection in the Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University in 2014-2016. HCV genotypes were surveyed. The genotype distribution pattern was compared with those of the neighboring regions in China.

resultsAmong the 952 patients, genotype 1 (GT1) (69.9%) was the most common HCV genotype, followed by GT6 (19.0%), GT3 (8.4%), and GT2 (2.6%). GT4 and GT5 were not found. One case had mixed infection of GT3 and GT6. Predominance of GT1 HCV was more evident in the patients aged ≥ 40 years than in those aged < 40 years (79.5% vs. 47.9%, χ

conclusionsHCV GT1 was the most predominant HCV genotype in Hunan Province, and GT6 and GT3 accounted for a significant percentage, especially in young patients. The HCV distribution pattern was more similar to those of the regions in south China.
