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

Bulevirtide is a first-in-class entry inhibitor of the hepatitis B and hepatitis delta virus blocking the sodium/bile acid co-transporter NTCP, and was recently approved for the treatment of hepatitis D as a priority medicine (prime) in an accelerated assessment by the European Medicines Agency. It is a very large lipopeptide comprising 47 amino acids in its sequence and a myristoylation at the N-terminus. For support of clinical development, we established highly sensitive plasma quantification assays using 100 μL of plasma, spanning concentrations of 0.1 to 100 ng/mL and 1 to 1000 ng/mL with the option to measure ten-fold diluted samples up to 10,000 ng/mL. Quantification was performed with UPLC-MS/MS measurements after extraction with protein precipitation. Both assays were fully validated according to the pertinent guidelines of the FDA and EMA, including incurred sample reanalyses and cross-validation using clinical study samples. Graphical abstract.
