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

Background and aims: Traditional observational studies have yielded inconsistent findings regarding the association between COVID-19 and HBV/HIV infections, as well as the protective effects of antiviral therapy against severe COVID-19. This study aimed to investigate the potential links between the current use of antiviral therapy and the rates of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and symptoms of infection in patients with SARS-CoV-2 and HBV/HIV. Methods: Using a questionnaire-based survey, we recorded whether participants had been infected with SARS-CoV-2, and the symptoms and severity of COVID-19 after the illness. Results: Among 756 participants, chi-square tests showed a higher incidence of COVID-19 in the HBV infection group (75.6%, Conclusion: Our findings suggest that patients with HBV or HIV infection have a higher risk of contracting SARS-CoV-2 than the general population; however, antiviral treatment relieves the symptoms of COVID-19.
