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 & Aims: Conflicting evidence exists on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) receiving tenofovir Methods: We conducted a retrospective nationwide cohort study using data from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database, including 55,885 patients with CHB who were treatment-naïve aged 30-75 years receiving tenofovir (n = 17,137) or entecavir (n = 38,748) monotherapy for ≥3 months between November 2009 and December 2020, and followed until December 2022. Multi-state modeling was applied to evaluate treatment impacts on disease progression trajectory, comprising CHB (with/without compensated cirrhosis), hepatic decompensation, HCC, death, and a switching treatment state. Propensity score matching/weighting and subgroup analyses were used to confirm the robustness of findings. Results: During a median 6.3 years of follow-up, 1,524 patients developed hepatic decompensation, 3,591 developed HCC, and 3,436 died. Tenofovir compared with entecavir was associated with lower risk of CHB progression, with adjusted-hazard ratios (95% CIs) of 0.84 (0.75-0.95) and 0.76 (0.70-0.83), respectively, for transitions to hepatic decompensation and HCC from baseline, and 0.65 (0.48-0.89) for HCC risk from decompensation. Propensity score matching/weighting analyses yielded similar results. Among patients without experiencing decompensation, a significantly lower HCC risk with tenofovir was observed across multiple subgroups, including age, sex, diabetes, and cirrhosis, and by sensitivity analyses. The 5-year risk of major adverse liver-related outcomes (decompensation, HCC, and liver-related deaths) was 5.5% and 7.5% for tenofovir and entecavir, respectively (adjusted-hazard ratio 0.80; 95% CI 0.74-0.85). Conclusions: Using multi-state modeling on the temporal evolution of CHB severity, long-term tenofovir treatment compared with entecavir was associated with a lower risk of severe liver outcomes. Impact and implications: The comparative effectiveness of tenofovir
