Pathological changes of liver one year later in CHB patients with negative HBV DNA.

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
backgroundIn this study, we aim to determine the hepatic pathological changes in HBV DNA-negative chronic Hepatitis B (CHB) patients after 12-month antiviral therapy.
methodsBlood routine indicators including platelet count (PLT) and white blood cell (WBC) were determined. The coagulation function was evaluated by determining the prothrombin time (PT) and prothrombin time activity (PTA), together with the HBV DNA quantification and alpha fetoprotein (AFP). The virology data included hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)/antibodies against hepatitis B surface antigen (anti-HBs), hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)/antibodies against hepatitis B e antigen (anti-HBe) and antibodies against hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc) were tested. Pathological assay was performed to the liver puncture tissues. Based on the HBV DNA data in the 12-month follow-up of the cases that received anti-viral therapy during this time, the experimental group was divided into group A (HBV DNA negative at the baseline level, HBV DNA negative after 12 months,
resultsThe inflammation grade of group A showed significant improvement after 12-month treatment (
conclusionNegative HBV DNA does not mean a controlled hepatitis B. Hepatitis B patients transferred to HBV DNA positivity during the anti-viral therapy are easily to show disease progression, and then special attention should be paid to the HBV DNA monitoring. Meanwhile, close monitoring to the changes of liver function, PTA and AFP levels may help to detect changes on the disease in a timely manner.
