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

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are associated with an increased risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL); however, adequate data corroborating these associations are lacking. Therefore, a study based on the national database was performed to investigate the correlation between HBV and HCV with NHL in Taiwan. This research was a retrospective cohort study using a nationally representative database established by the Health and Welfare Data Science Center of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, Taiwan. The participants were patients with HBV and HCV, analyzed using the propensity score matching method. The study results indicated that the incidence rate of NHL (0.13%) was significantly higher than that in patients from the general population. After controlling related variables, the hazard ratio (HR) of the incidence of NHL in patients with hepatitis was 2.37 (95% CI, 1.93-2.91). Furthermore, the incidence of NHL in patients with HBV was significantly higher than in patients from the general population (HR, 2.49; 95% CI, 1.94-3.19). The incidence of NHL in patients with HCV was significantly higher than in patients from the general population (HR, 2.36; 95% CI, 1.73-3.22). This study indicated that HBV and HCV significantly increase the risk of NHL.
