All-Cause Mortality in Persons With HIV-HBV Co-Infection Treated for HBV in Rwanda: A Population-Based Cohort Study.

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 B virus (HBV) infection increases the risk of cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma and non-liver complications. HIV co-infection accelerates disease progression and increases mortality risk compared to HBV mono-infection, but its impact among treated individuals is not well documented in Sub-Saharan Africa. We evaluated all-cause mortality among people with chronic HBV on treatment and assessed the effect of HIV/HBV co-infection. A retrospective cohort study using data from Rwanda's District Health Information System 2 included individuals aged ≥ 2 years treated for HBV between January 2016 and June 2022. Follow-up began 12 months after treatment initiation until death or 30 June 2023. Crude mortality rates were calculated, and multilevel Cox proportional hazards regression, accounting for hospital clustering, assessed the impact of HIV/HBV co-infection on all-cause mortality. Among 4843 people who received HBV treatment (3905 with HBV mono-infection and 838 with HIV/HBV co-infection), median follow-up was 3.8 (interquartile range 2.8) years. Thirty-four deaths occurred, yielding an overall crude mortality rate of 1.6 per 1000 person-years (PY). Mortality rate was higher among individuals with HIV/HBV co-infection compared to those with HBV mono-infection (3.3 vs. 1.1 per 1000 PY, respectively). HIV/HBV co-infection was associated with increased all-cause mortality (adjusted hazard ratio 4.07, 95% confidence interval: 1.71, 9.69). Mortality was low among HBV-treated individuals in Rwanda. However, HIV co-infection significantly increased mortality risk, highlighting the importance of closer follow-up of individuals with HIV/HBV co-infection and further studies on the role of HIV viral load suppression.
