Advances in treatment of hepatitis delta virus infection: Update on novel investigational drugs.
Review in World journal of virology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Chronic hepatitis delta virus (HDV) represents a rare but important co-infection in approximately 5% of patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality due to an increased risk for liver cirrhosis, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma relative to HBV monoinfected individuals. The current treatment of chronic HDV infection includes the off-label use of pegylated interferon (IFN), which is limited by poor safety, tolerability, and efficacy. Guidelines of the major international liver organizations such as the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases, European Association for the Study of the Liver, and Asian Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver provide recommendations for contemporary diagnosis and management of chronic HDV infection, including the incorporation of bulevirtide, a newly licensed antiviral agent in Europe. Significant unmet medical needs remain in the treatment of HDV, and recent advances in drug development offer hope for meaningful advances in drug therapy which may improve virologic response rates and clinical outcomes. This review summarizes trial design and available efficacy data from key phase 2 and 3 trials for investigational therapies including entry inhibitors (bulevirtide), prenylation inhibitors (lonafarnib), novel IFNs (peginterferon lambda), RNA interference molecules (JNJ-3989, elebsiran), monoclonal antibodies (tobevibart), and nucleic acid polymers (REP2139), and addresses future directions in HDV pharmacotherapy.
