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
Introduction: This study aimed to explore serum HBV pre-genomic RNA (pgRNA) levels and its associated factors among HBV-infected patients in the real world. Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted from May 10, 2023, to January 15, 2024. Univariate logistic analysis for positive serum HBV pgRNA was performed first, and variables with statistical significance were included in a multivariate logistic model. A decreasing trend of serum HBV pgRNA and HBV DNA levels was also detected first by univariate logistic regression and then by multivariate logistic regression. Results: 482 patients were included in our analysis at baseline, and 191 patients were followed up. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that positive HBV DNA (AOR: 2.63, 95% CI: 1.46-4.75, P=0.001), ≥1000 hBsAg (AOR: 2.29, 95% CI: 1.08-4.89, P=0.03), positive HBeAg (AOR: 28.26, 95% CI: 15.2-52.55, P<0.001), and ALP (AOR: 1.01, 95% CI: 1.001-1.02, P=0.03) were positively correlated with positive HBV pgRNA at baseline. Two independent multivariate logistic regression models were constructed for the decreasing trend of serum HBV pgRNA and HBV DNA for the 191 follow-up patients. Results showed that the decreasing trend of HBV pgRNA was positively correlated with positive baseline HBV DNA (AOR: 4.60, 95% CI: 1.84-11.51, P=0.001), baseline HBsAg ≥1000 IU/mL (AOR: 8.74, 95% CI: 1.09-70.10, P=0.04), and HDL (AOR: 5.01, 95% CI: 1.28-19.66, P=0.02). The decreasing trend of HBV DNA was positively correlated with positive baseline HBV pgRNA (AOR: 3.80, 95% CI: 2.00-8.83, P<0.001) and AST (AOR: 1.06, 95% CI: 1.03-1.08, P<0.001). Conclusion: Our study revealed that HBV DNA, HBsAg, HBeAg, and ALP were significantly correlated with positive HBV pgRNA at baseline. The baseline HBV DNA, HBsAg, and HDL were significantly correlated with decreasing levels of HBV pgRNA. A decreasing trend of HBV DNA significantly correlated with patients' baseline HBV pgRNA and AST.
