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

backgroundIncreased serum and intrahepatic interferon gamma inducible protein 10 (IP-10) levels in patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) have been described.

aimTo analyse the possible association of serum IP-10 levels with different outcomes to antiviral therapy. PATIENTS: A total of 137 CHC patients treated with peginterferon plus ribavirin.

methodsSerum IP-10 levels were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay before therapy, after 12 weeks of treatment, and 24 weeks after cessation of therapy. Variables significantly associated with a sustained virological response (SVR) on univariate analysis were included in a multivariate logistic regression model.

resultsPretreatment serum IP-10 levels in patients with SVR were significantly lower than in non-responders (NR) (332.4 (222.1) v 476.8 (305.3) pg/ml, respectively; p=0.004). Serum IP-10 concentrations significantly decreased in patients with SVR (pretreatment: 332.4 (222.1) pg/ml; post-treatment: 170.2 (140.1) pg/ml; p<0.001) but not in NR (pretreatment: 476.8 (305.3) pg/ml; post treatment: 387.3 (268.1) pg/ml; p=0.06). By multivariate analysis, non-1 genotype (odds ratio (OR) 3.5 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.1-10.4); p=0.003) and low viral load at baseline (OR 0.34 (95% CI 0.14-0.79); p=0.01) were independent predictors of SVR in all patients. When multivariate analysis was restricted to patients with genotype 1, only baseline viral load (OR 0.38 (95% CI 0.155-0.96); p=0.04) and pretreatment serum IP-10 levels (OR 0.99 (95% CI 0.996-0.999); p=0.03) were identified as predictive factors of SVR.

conclusionPretreatment serum IP-10 behaves as a predictive factor of SVR to peginterferon plus ribavirin therapy in genotype 1 infected patients.
