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

Background: Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is one of the common infectious diseases in the world. HBV covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) is the initial template of HBV replication, which can exist in human hepatocytes for a long time and is difficult to be completely removed. It has been shown that HBV RNA can directly respond to the levels and transcriptional activity of cccDNA in hepatocytes and can be used as a surrogate marker of cccDNA transcriptional activity. At present, the detection techniques used for quantitative HBV RNA mainly include reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and simultaneous amplification and testing (SAT). Methods: In this study, we verified the performance of the SAT method for detecting HBV RNA and the clinical effectiveness of SAT and RT-qPCR, and compared the correlation and consistency of the two detection methods for HBV RNA detection. Results: The results showed that the limit of detection for HBV RNA by SAT method was 50 copies/mL, with a linear range of 1 × 10 Conclusions: Therefore, this study confirmed that the SAT method and RT-qPCR for detecting HBV RNA have good agreement, which are both reliable methods to detect HBV RNA and can replace each other.
