Terbinafine-Induced Hepatitis B Reactivation in a Patient With Chronic Hepatitis B.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Reactivation of chronic inactive hepatitis B infection can be spontaneous or triggered by chemotherapy or immunosuppression. Although the pathophysiology behind this remains unclear, several mechanisms have been proposed in the literature. Data describing hepatitis B flares caused by other classes of medications are sparse. We describe a case of reactivation of chronic hepatitis B in a 48-year-old man, who presented with generalized weakness after initiating terbinafine for a fungal toenail infection. He was found to have deranged liver function tests and elevated hepatitis B viral load. Both resolved after discontinuation of terbinafine and starting tenofovir.
