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
purposeThis study aimed to investigate the HIV and hepatitis B virus (HBV) co-infection in three HIV high endemic areas with different modes of HIV transmission and explore the HBV nucleos(t)ide analogue resistance (NUCr) substitutions in this cohort receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART). PATIENTS AND
methodsThe enrolled 705 HIV-infected patients were from three different regions in China and received lamivudine-based ART for at least 1 year. After screening for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), the hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg), and antibody against hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc and anti-HBc IgM), HBV DNA in plasma of patients positive for HBsAg was tested. The reverse transcriptase (RT) sequences of HBV were analyzed by direct sequencing.
resultsThe overall HBsAg-positive rate was 7.1% (50/705) (Guangxi [25/170, 14.7%], Xinjiang [13/257, 5.1%], and Henan [12/278, 4.3%]). The age, transmission route, and ethnic status were found to be associated with HIV/HBV co-infection. We obtained 23 HBV RT sequences belonging to genotypes B (9/23, 39.1%), C (13/23, 56.5%), and D (1/23, 4.4%). About 65.2% (15/23) of RT sequences harbored NUCr substitutions, all of which had combination substitution patterns. Patients with HBV NUCr had significantly higher HBV DNA level and ratio of HBeAg-positive than those without NUCr. None of the patients was found to have both lamivudine-resistant HBV and HIV.
conclusionOur results suggested that HBsAg-positive rate in the studied patients was similar to that of the general population in each of the studied regions, where the age, transmission route, and ethnic status might also play roles in HIV/HBV co-infection. The HBV combination NUCr substitutions were common in co-infected patients under ART. Monitoring of HBV infection and NUCr substitutions in HIV-infected patients would help in providing better clinical decisions and management, thus lowering patients' risks to develop end-stage liver diseases.
