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

Considering a steady increase in the number of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantations (allo-HSCT) worldwide and the significant proportion of the world's population that has been exposed to hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, HBV reactivation following allo-HSCT remains an important issue for post-transplant morbidity and mortality. Antiviral prophylaxis can reduce HBV replication, severity of HBV-related hepatitis, and mortality; therefore, identification of patients at risk is crucial. It is recommended that all recipients and donors should be screened for active or prior HBV infection, including HBsAg, antiHBc, and antiHBs. Adoptive immunity transfer from the donor seems to have protective effects against HBV reactivation. Antiviral prophylaxis should be initiated in all HBsAg-positive patients. HBsAg-negative, antiHBc-positive patients remain at risk; therefore, antiviral prophylaxis should be considered if baseline serum HBV DNA is detectable. In HBsAg-negative, antiHBc-positive patients without detectable HBV DNA, close monitoring of viral load with an on-demand therapy is necessary. Entecavir or tenofovir rather than lamivudine are more appropriate for the emergence of lamivudine resistance. The treatment duration remains unclear, with 6- to 12-month therapy after cessation of immunosuppressive therapy commonly recommended. Here we review the updated evidence and recent recommendations regarding HBV reactivation in patients undergoing allo-HSCT for individualized therapy.
