A Single Dose of Anti-HBsAg Antibody-Encoding mRNA-LNPs Suppressed HBsAg Expression: a Potential Cure of Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection.

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 (HBV) infection is a serious global health issue with more than 250 million chronic carriers. It causes liver diseases such as chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Persistent suppression of the HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) is necessary for a functional cure of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) virus infection. However, this can hardly be achieved with currently approved drugs. Antibody treatment against HBsAg has shown promise in restoring HBV-specific immune responses and promoting HBV cure. To achieve long-lasting HBsAg suppression, we used an advanced mRNA drug to encode the genes of three anti-HBsAg antibodies, G12-scFv, G12-scFv-Fc, and G12-IgG. Antibody-encoding mRNA-lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), mL (G12-scFv-Fc) and mL (G12-IgG), substantially reduced serum HBsAg levels in treated mice within 30 days after a single dose. In contrast, exogenous antibodies lost effect on reducing HBsAg or HBV DNA levels 9 days postadministration. The high affinity of anti-HBsAg antibodies and the adjuvant activity of mRNA-LNPs resulted in long-term HBsAg seroclearance, which could contribute to the reestablishment of the immune system in HBV carriers. These findings highlight the great potential of antibody-encoding mRNA molecules against CHB infection.
