Respiratory failure as the prominent manifestation of entecavir-associated mitochondrial myopathy: a case report.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundMitochondrial myopathy caused by the long-term use of nucleos(t)ide analogue in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is mostly characterized by myasthenia and myalgia. Cases with respiratory failure as the prominent manifestation and multisystem symptoms have not been reported. CASE REPORT: We report a case of mitochondrial myopathy associated with the long-term use of entecavir for CHB. The patient was a 54-year-old male who was treated with entecavir for 9 years. During the treatment, hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA was negative and liver function was normal. However, generalized fatigue, poor appetite, dysosmia and other discomforts gradually presented starting at the 5 DISCUSSION: Mitochondrial myopathy is a rare side effect of entecavir and can be diagnosed by muscle biopsy. Although the incidence is extremely low, but the severe cases can lead to respiratory failure. We should receive adequate attention in clinical practice.
