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

Sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) acts as a cellular receptor for the hepatitis B virus infection of host hepatocytes. Previously, many studies confirmed that the NTCP p.Ser267Phe variant was a protective factor against HBV-related disease progression. We therefore designed this study to investigate whether the NTCP p.Ser267Phe variant exerts an additive anti-HBV effect in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients on mainstream NAs treatment. After propensity score matching (PSM), a total of 136 CHB patients were included, among whom 68 were heterozygous carriers and 68 were wild-type controls. Proportions of primary nonresponse, partial virological response, virological breakthrough and hepatitis B reactivation and the HBV DNA clearance rate at each time point were compared using the chi-square test. Kaplan-Meier analysis and matched t-tests were also performed to estimate the speed of viral clearance and serum HBV DNA reduction, respectively. The proportion of primary nonresponse was significantly lower in heterozygous carriers than in wild-type controls (
