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: Cessation of nucleoside/nucleotide analogue (Nuc) therapy in patients with HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B (CHB) remains controversial. Methods: In this prospective, single-center cohort study, we recruited 45 patients with HBeAg-negative CHB from The Fifth Medical Center of Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital in mainland China. Patients were classified into a Nuc cessation group ( Results: Within 3 years of follow-up, 51.9% patients with Nuc cessation had virological relapse and 14.8% had ALT elevation, while all patients with Nuc continuation had undetectable HBV DNA and normal ALT. The rate of HBsAg loss after Nuc cessation was 22.2% compared with no seroconversion in patients with Nuc continuation. The hepatitis flare rate was 11.1% and there were no cases of hepatic decompensation after Nuc cessation. End of treatment (EOT) HBsAg, HBV RNA, and decline in HBV core-related antigen (HBcrAg) rate were predictive markers for HBsAg seroconversion at 6 months post-Nuc cessation. Conclusion: This study showed favorable HBsAg loss and low hepatitis flare rates after Nuc cessation. EOT HBsAg, HBV RNA, and decline in HBcrAg rate were predictive markers for HBsAg seroconversion at 6 months post-Nuc cessation.
