The effects of IL28B rs12979860 and rs8099917 polymorphism on hepatitis B infection.
Article in Northern clinics of Istanbul, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship of IL28B rs12979860 and rs8099917 polymorphisms with the clinical, histological, and virological outcomes of patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) also the treatment responses of patients who received Nucleos(t)ide analogs (NAs) therapy.
methodsThis study included 152 CHB patients who were underwent liver parenchymal biopsy. The IL28B rs12979860 and rs8099917 polymorphism were genotyped using the TaqMan assay.
resultsThe IL28B rs12979860 CC and IL28B rs8099917 TT were identified as the genotypes with the highest frequency in all patients. On the other hand, IL28B rs12979860 TT and IL28B rs8099917 GG were the genotypes with the lowest frequency. The frequency of IL28B rs8099917 TG genotype was significantly different between patients with hepatitis B, who has histologically defined liver cirrhosis and no-fibrosis (p=0.02). In addition, a statistically significant correlation was found between the presence of IL28B rs8099917 G allele and virological unresponsiveness to NAs treatments in CHB patients (p=0.028).
conclusionThe presence of the IL28B rs8099917 G allele in CHB patients might be associated with the risk of developing cirrhosis and virological unresponsiveness to NAs treatments.
