Class A capsid assembly modulator apoptotic elimination of hepatocytes with high HBV core antigen level
Article in Journal of virology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Capsid assembly is critical in the hepatitis B virus (HBV) life cycle, mediated by the viral core protein. Capsid assembly is the target for new anti-viral therapeutics known as capsid assembly modulators (CAMs) of which the CAM-aberrant (CAM-A) class induces aberrant shaped core protein structures and leads to hepatocyte cell death. This study aimed to identify the mechanism of action of CAM-A modulators leading to HBV-infected hepatocyte elimination where CAM-A-mediated hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) reduction was evaluated in a stable HBV replicating cell line and in AAV-HBV-transduced C57BL/6, C57BL/6 SCID, and HBV-infected chimeric mice with humanized livers. Results showed that IMPORTANCE: Treatment with hepatitis B virus (HBV) capsid assembly modulators that induce the formation of aberrant HBV core protein structures (CAM-A) leads to programmed cell death, apoptosis, of HBV-infected hepatocytes and subsequent reduction of HBV antigens, which differentiates CAM-A from other CAMs. The effect is dependent on the
