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

The molecular profile of hepatitis Delta in Afghanistan remains unclear yet, therefore this study addresses the genotype of HDV among HBsAg carriers in Afghanistan. In total 234 HBsAg-positive sera were examined by chemiluminescent micro-particle immunoassay to detect Anti-HDV antibodies. Serologically positive samples were later approved via real-time PCR test and subsequently, a 731 bp segment of the HDV Delta antigen RNA region was sequenced in the Illumina platform. The isolates were genotyped via distance matrix/UPGMA analysis using Kimura 2-parameter by MEGA7 software package program. The HBV/HDV coinfection rate among HBsAg carriers in Afghanistan was 2.1%. Finally, 4 samples successfully amplified Hepatitis delta antigen (HDAg) which Later in phylogenetic analysis, all resided in branch genotype I and were stored at GenBank with accession numbers MK799645, MK799646, MK799647, MK799648. The HDV genotypic variations in the Afghan HBsAg carriers may be homogenous and HDV-1 may be the predominant genotype in Afghanistan.
