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

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the most prevalent chronic blood-borne infection in the United States and the leading cause of chronic liver disease. HCV is transmitted through blood-to-blood contact. New infections remain common among IDUs, prisoners, and others likely to be exposed to infected blood. The purpose of this study was to use qualitative methods to gain insight into the experiences of HCV-infected residents, an approach that has proved informative in helping individuals manage similar challenging chronic illnesses. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with four Oxford House female residents living with HCV. The semi-structure qualitative interview consisted of 18 questions which were designed to focus on three broad areas: experiences of contracting and being diagnosed with HCV, ways in which HCV affected their lives, and experiences living in an Oxford House. Overall, participants were not surprised at their diagnosis, but it did impact their mood. Participants had difficulty with social functioning, experienced physical and psychological symptoms, and received a substantial amount of social support from family and Oxford House residents.
