Rate of abnormal renal function index and related risk factors in patients with chronic hepatitis B.
Article in World journal of gastroenterology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPatients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) require long-term antiviral therapy. The effects of different antiviral drugs on kidney function are unclear. There is a lack of effective markers for monitoring early renal impairment.
aimTo investigate the rate of abnormal renal function index and related potential hazards in patients with CHB.
methodsClinical data of patients with CHB with urinary β2-microglobulin (β2-M) detection, including demographic characteristics, hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA, serum liver function (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin), serum renal function (urea nitrogen, creatinine), blood lipid index (high density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein, cholesterol, triglyceride), liver imaging, and other routine tests were retrospectively collected. The normal level of urinary β2-M and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is defined as < 0.173 mg/L and ≥ 90 mL/min/1.73 m
resultsA total of 500 patients with CHB were enrolled; these patients were aged 44.7 ± 10.8 years, 67.2% (336/500) were male, 57.2% (286/500) were treated with antiviral drugs, and 52.2% (261/500) had an HBV-related family history. In total, 28.8% (144/500) of patients had fatty liver, 35.0% (175/500) had liver fibrosis, and 13.2% (66/500) had cirrhosis. The proportion of patients with eGFR < 90 mL/min/1.73 m
conclusionIn patients with CHB, a higher proportion had greater urinary β2-M levels than eGFR for renal injury. Male patients should pay more attention to renal function and use antiviral regimens with a renal safety profile.
