Identification of rare hepatitis C virus genotype 5a among Indian population.
Article in Virus genes, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
In Indian population, hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes 1 and 3 are prevalent and predominant with the highest frequency. However, other genotypes are seldom reported, and among them the HCV genotype 5a is exceptionally rare. The presented case had no history for either blood transfusion or using any type of IV drugs and never traveled to any other country. He was serologically positive with HCV antibodies and HCV RNA. 5'UTR-specific amplification and sequencing of infected viral genome confirmed that he had been infected with HCV genotype 5a which is not closely related to other common prevalent genotypes like 1a, 1b, 3a, and 3b in India. Patient's wife and children tested negative for anti-HCV and HCV-RNA. This unique case report could be attributed to circulation of HCV genotype 5a from other geographic area at very low frequency in India as determined by phylogenetic analysis and nucleic acid-sequencing methods.
