Negative conversion of autoantibody profile in chronic hepatitis B: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2021. 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
backgroundAutoimmune antibodies are detected in many diseases. Viral infections are accompanied by several immunopathological manifestations. Some autoimmune antibodies have been associated with the immune response induced by virus or drugs. Thus, a comprehensive diagnosis of chronic hepatitis B combined with autoimmune hepatitis is required, and immunosuppressant or antiviral therapy should be carefully considered. CASE SUMMARY: We present a case of a patient who had negative transformation of autoimmune antibodies during chronic active hepatitis B. A 50-year-old female who had a history of asymptomatic hepatitis B virus carriers for more than 10 years presented to the hospital with the complaint of weakness for 1 wk. Blood tests revealed elevated liver enzymes; the detection of autoantibodies was positive. Hepatitis B viral load was 72100000 IU/mL. The patient started tenofovir alafenamide fumigate 25 mg daily. Liver biopsy was performed, which was consistent with chronic active hepatitis B. The final diagnosis of the case was chronic active hepatitis B. The autoimmune antibodies turned negative after 4 wk of antiviral therapy. The patient recovered and was discharged with normal liver function. There was no appearance of autoantibodies, and liver function was normal at regular follow-ups.
conclusionAutoimmune antibodies may appear in patients with chronic active hepatitis. It is necessary to differentiate the diagnosis with autoimmune hepatitis.
