Figure 5 Comparison of adherence to antiviral therapy in controlled studies. The random-effects model showed that spleen operation decreased the incidence of interferon (IFN) dosage reduction (A). There was no significant difference in withdrawal of IFNα-based therapy between patients with SO plus IFN and those with IFNα treatment alone (B). SO: Spleen operation; Non-SO: No spleen operation.
