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) has been associated with distinct rheumatic syndromes including arthritis, sialadenitis, and cryoglobulinemic vasculitis (CV). The therapy of these HCV-associated syndromes includes antiviral therapy with or without the addition of immunosuppressives while clinical response is mainly seen in patients who clear the virus after antiviral therapy. Despite significant therapeutic advances, existing antiviral therapies with interferon-a (IFNa)-based schemes achieve viral eradication only in approximately half the patients. Recently, oral antivirals that target specific HCV proteins referred as direct acting antivirals (DAAs) have been developed and approved. Short-term (12-24 weeks) combination schemes with or without IFN ("IFN-free" regimens) including these inhibitors clear the virus in more than 90 % of treated patients. Here, we review current therapeutic options in HCV-associated rheumatic syndromes and the potential role of the newly available antivirals in an integrated therapeutic approach.
