Creatine kinase elevation in chronic hepatitis B patients with telbivudine therapy: influence of telbivudine plasma concentration and single nucleotide polymorphisms of TK2, RRM2B, and NME4.
Observational study in European journal of clinical pharmacology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeTo study the correlations of genetic variants of telbivudine phosphorylase kinases and telbivudine plasma concentration with creatine kinase elevation in chronic hepatitis B patients who received telbivudine.
methodsAn observational study was performed in China chronic hepatitis B patients receiving telbivudine therapy at 600 mg once daily. Plasma concentration was measured 12 h after taking telbivudine using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and SNPs located in RRM2B, TK2, and NME4 was detected by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. All statistical analyses were performed with R 4.3.1 and all graphs were drawn by Origin 2023b and P value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
resultsA total of 140 patients receiving telbivudine therapy were recruited with a median plasma concentration of 952.49 (781.07-1238.98) ng/mL. The value of plasma concentration was proportional to the grade of creatine kinase elevation and the best telbivudine plasma concentration threshold to discriminate the grade 3/4 CK elevation was 1336.61 ng/mL. Multivariate analysis revealed that plasma concentration and rs3826160 were the independent risk factor of telbivudine-induced creatine kinase elevation. Patients with TC and CC genotype in rs3826160 not only had a higher incidence of creatine kinase elevation but also a higher plasma concentration than TT genotype carriers.
conclusionChronic hepatitis B patients with TC and CC genotype in rs3826160 have high telbivudine plasma concentration are at risk of elevated creatine kinase.
