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

Infection with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) represents an important health-care problem worldwide. The prevalence of HCV-related disease is increasing, and no vaccine is yet available. Since the identification of HCV as the causative agent of non-A, non-B hepatitis, treatment has progressed rapidly, but morbidity and mortality rates are still predicted to rise. Novel, more efficacious and tolerable therapies are urgently needed, and a greater understanding of the viral life cycle has led to an increase in the number of possible targets for antiviral intervention. Here we review the specific challenges posed by HCV, and recent developments in the design of vaccines and novel antiviral agents.
