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

The hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment landscape has rapidly changed over the past 5 years. The development of direct-acting antiviral (DAA) agents that specifically target various steps in the HCV lifecycle has revolutionized therapeutic options for patients with HCV, with the development of highly effective and well-tolerated oral interferon-free regimens. There are many DAAs that are currently in development or have recently been approved, which target different nonstructural HCV proteins and host targets that are essential for HCV replication. This review will focus on the different classes of DAAs and the various combinations that are in advanced development for the treatment of chronic HCV infection and will focus on the different regimens in specific patient populations.
