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

backgroundThe association between chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains unclear. We investigated the prevalence and risk factors of CVD in patients with CHB.

methodsData from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys 2008-2011 were analyzed. Significant liver fibrosis was defined as the highest nonalcoholic fatty liver disease fibrosis score quartile, highest Forns index quintile, or fibrosis-4 ≥ 2.67. The CVD risk was calculated using the 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk score from the 2013 ACC/AHA Guidelines.

resultsAmong the 506 subjects with CHB, 15 (3.0%) and 150 (29.6%) patients had a CVD history and significant liver fibrosis, respectively. Patients with CVD history were significantly older; showed a significantly higher prevalence of hypertension, metabolic syndrome, and significant liver fibrosis; and had a significantly higher platelet count, lower aspartate and alanine aminotransferase levels, higher triglyceride level, lower high-density lipoprotein level, and higher ASCVD risk than those without (all p < 0.05). In multivariate analysis, higher ASCVD risk (odds ratio [OR] = 1.090) and significant liver fibrosis (OR = 4.341) independently predicted the risk of CVD history (p < 0.05). The prevalence of CVD risk (6.7% vs. 1.4%; OR = 5.014) and high ASCVD risk (> 15%) (34.0% vs. 7.3%; OR = 6.538) was significantly higher in patients with significant liver fibrosis than in those without (all p < 0.05).

conclusionsSignificant liver fibrosis was independently associated with the risk of CVD history in patients with CHB. Prospective studies are needed to validate the longitudinal association between fibrotic burden and CVD development in patients with CHB.
