Article in Avicenna journal of medical biotechnology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundIntrafamilial spread of
methodsIn the present study, intrafamilial transmission of HBV among family members of Iranian index HBsAg carriers was investigated using phylogenetic analysis of the S region of the viral genome. Nested polymerase chain reaction was used for detection of HBV DNA in serum samples from 22 index and 43 contact patients with chronic HBV infection. HBV DNA was detected in 37 samples (14 indexes, 23 contacts). The S gene region of the DNA isolates was subjected to direct sequencing and phylogenetic analysis by Bioedit, Mega and Phylip programs.
resultsAll isolates (from 26 patients) were clustered with genotype D, of which 24 strains were of subgenotype D1, subtype
conclusionOur data corroborated intrafamilial transmission of HBV, as evidenced by concordant HBV genotype among household members, viral sequence homology and close genetic relatedness of the strains on the phylogenetic tree, and horizontal transmission of S gene mutations among family members.
