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

Treatment options for chronic hepatitis D (CHD) are limited in patients who do not respond to recommended treatment with bulevirtide ± pegylated interferon. The use of REP 2139-Mg is a novel treatment option that has recently demonstrated efficacy and safety in phase 2 trials and a compassionate access program that included three patients treated at the Vienna General Hospital with compensated advanced chronic liver disease and clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH). Long-term outcome of CSPH patients treated with REP 2139-Mg is unknown; thus, surrogate endpoints are of interest in this population. In the 3 patients receiving REP 2139-Mg for 12 months at our center, we monitored the hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) as the strongest prognostic surrogate biomarker in compensated cirrhosis at baseline, and after 3 and 12 months of treatment. The HVPG dynamics alongside additional liver function tests observed are summarized in this report and two out of three patients achieved undetectable hepatitis-D-virus(HDV)-RNA and low hepatitis B surface Antigen (HBsAg) following pronounced alanine aminotransferase (ALT) flares during REP 2139-Mg treatment. The first patient showed virologic non-response and no HVPG dynamics during treatment. The second patient developed jaundice upon treatment initiation, resulting in a transient increase in HVPG despite virologic response. The third patient achieved virologic response that was paralleled by sustained reductions in HVPG.
