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

Entecavir (ETV) may have limited antiviral efficacy in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with a high baseline viral load, especially in cases of partial virologic response (PVR). This study evaluated the outcomes of prolonged ETV monotherapy, given the lack of clear evidence favoring continuation or combination therapy in such scenarios. We included 188 treatment-naïve patients on ETV 0.5 mg and compared antiviral responses between high viral load (HVL, ≥7 log10 IU/mL) and non-HVL groups for over up to 120 months in this study. Compared to the non-HVL group, the HVL group exhibited a lower cumulative virologic response (VR, <20 IU/mL) during the 10-year therapy period (
