HBcAb Positivity as a Risk Factor for Missing HIV RNA Undetectability after the 3TC+DTG Switch.
Article in Viruses, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Hepatitis B Core antibody (HBcAb) positivity is the surrogate marker of hepatitis B occult infection. This condition is not a contraindication for switching to two-drug (2DR) antiretroviral therapy; however, the removal of tenofovir may contribute to poor control of HBV replication. A multicentre retrospective cohort study investigated the impact of HBcAb positivity on HIV control in patients switching to a 2DR with Lamivudine and Dolutegravir (3TC-DTG). In this study, a comparison analysis was conducted between HBcAb-positive and -negative PLWH regarding HIV-RNA suppression, considering: (1): Target Not Detected (TND) < 20 cp/mL; (2) Target Detected (TD) < 20 cp/mL; and (3) Detectable > 20 cp/mL and <50 cp/mL and >50 copies/mL. A total of 267 patients on 2DR with 3TC-DTG were included. In comparison to HBcAb-negative, HBcAb-positive patients were older (45 years [35-54]) and had a lower CD4+ nadir (248 vs. 349 cells/mmc,
