Review in Hepatology international, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major global health burden and cure is rarely achieved by current antiviral therapies. Therefore, there is an urgent need for new therapeutic options. Immune modulation with the goal to restore dysfunctional HBV-specific immunity is an interesting target for new therapeutic strategies. Based on the current evidence on immunology in resolving and persistent HBV infection, we will review the growing field of immunotherapeutic approaches for treatment of chronic HBV infection. We will also discuss the challenge of a heterogeneous patient population and personalized treatment as a possible key factor of success.
