ZNF350 gene polymorphisms promote the response to Peg-IFNα therapy through JAK-STAT signaling pathway in patients with chronic hepatitis B.

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
Background: The varying individual responses to Pegylated interferon-α (Peg-IFNα) in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) pose significant hurdles in treatment optimization, and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Objective: We aimed to identify genetic polymorphisms influencing the efficacy of Peg-IFNα in patients with HBeAg-positive CHB, with the goal to predict Peg-IFNα response before treatment. Methods: We employed an Asian Screening Array analysis involving 124 HBeAg-positive CHB patients treated with Peg-IFNα. We conducted assessment of immunological markers and mRNA expression of pivotal genes, establishing correlations with SNPs, functional genes of SNPs, and efficacy of Peg-IFNα therapy. Results: The G allele presented in rs2278420 and rs6509607 were significantly more common in patients who achieved a complete response (CR) compared to those who had a suboptimal response (SR), and linked to an increased rates of HBeAg loss following Peg-IFNα treatment (all Conclusion: The G allele of rs2278420 and rs6509607 were associated with mRNA level of ZNF350, with an increased probability of Peg-IFNα response in HBeAg-positive CHB patients, likely through the modulation of JAK-STAT signaling pathway.
