Effectiveness of prophylactic antiviral therapy in reducing HBV reactivation for HBsAg-positive recipients following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: a multi-institutional experience from an HBV endemic area.
Article in Annals of hematology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Hepatitis B virus reactivation (HBVr) is not uncommon in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) recipients. Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive patients receiving allo-HSCT have a very high risk of HBVr. However, the validity of prophylactic antiviral treatment in HBsAg-positive allo-HSCT recipients has not been well studied. We aimed to add experience in dealing with HBsAg-positive patients following allo-HSCT. We conducted a cohort study that included 11 years of data of HBsAg-positive allo-HSCT patients in multiple centers. The cumulative incidence of HBVr with antiviral prophylaxis at 60 months following transplantation was 8.9%. Both lamivudine (LAM) and entecavir (ETV) effectively reduced the incidence of HBVr. Patients with absent-mild cGVHD had a lower HBVr rate than that of patients with moderate-severe cGVHD (HR = 0.201, P = 0.020). The incidence of HBsAg seroclearance at 60 months following transplantation was 34.3%. Recipients accepting from anti-HBs-negative donors were associated with a lower HBsAg seroclearance rate than that of those accepting from anti-HBs-positive donors (HR=0.255, P < 0.001). The peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) donor source had a higher HBsAg seroclearance rates than that of the PBSC plus bone marrow stem cell source (HR = 4.700, P = 0.047). The prophylactic antiviral treatment effectively reduced HBVr in HBsAg-positive recipients receiving allo-HSCT. HBsAg-positive recipients accept anti-HBs-positive PBSC donor sources may facilitate the acquisition of HBsAg seroclearance after transplantation.
