Effects of dyslipidemia on E antigen seroconversion of patients with chronic hepatitis B treated by nucleoside (acid) analogs.

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
backgroundThe prevalence of dyslipidemia in China is increasing annually. Current studies suggest that dyslipidemia affects the antiviral efficacy of hepatitis C virus (HCV) therapies, while recent studies suggest that serum lipids influence the response rates of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients receiving PEGylated interferon-alpha (Peg IFN-α) treatment. However, the role of dyslipidemia in the efficacy of nucleoside (acid) analogues (NAs) in CHB patients remains unclear.
methodsFrom January 2010 to December 2013, data from 179 treatment-naive patients with CHB who were hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-positive and had visited the first affiliated hospital of Wenzhou Medical University were assessed. Of these patients, 68 were assigned to the dyslipidemia group (diagnosed with CHB complicated with dyslipidemia) and 111 to the normolipidemic group. The following 3 treatment strategies were performed for all CHB patients over a 5-year period: lamivudine (LAM) plus adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) combination therapy, telbivudine (LdT) monotherapy, and entecavir (ETV) monotherapy. Serum assessments, blood biochemistry, HBV serological markers, HBV DNA before treatment and HBeAg serological conversion and virological responses at different timepoints after treatment were compared between the two groups. Measurement data were compared by τ tests and enumeration data by χ
resultsThe rates of HBeAg seroconversion in the dyslipidemia group at years 1, 2, 3, and 4 were 10.3, 13.2, 17.6, and 22.1%, respectively, which were not significantly lower than those of the normolipidemic group (11.7, 16.2, 18.0 and 33.3%; χ
conclusionsDuring antiviral therapy, dyslipidemia affects HBeAg seroconversion in CHB patients treated with NAs, but does not affect the virological response.
