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

backgroundCoinfection with HIV/HCV is associated with more severe liver disease, including increased frequency of steatosis and significant fibrosis, compared to patients mono-infected with HCV or HIV. We sought to explore the impact of steatosis on cardiovascular disease (CVD), liver-related outcomes, and survival.

methodsAn IRB-approved, single-center retrospective cohort study was undertaken to analyze 10-year clinical outcomes in HIV/HCV-coinfected patients. Liver biopsy was performed at study entry for the evaluation of HCV disease; a study pathologist graded samples for fibrosis and steatosis. Clinical outcomes, including cardiac events, liver function with FIB-4, AST to Platelet Ratio Index, and survival were assessed over 10 years.

resultsAt cohort entry N = 105, mean age 45 ± 7 years, 70% male, and 56% had steatosis present on biopsy. During the 10-year follow-up, no association was found between incident CVD, changes in noninvasive liver fibrosis measures, or survival in the steatosis group compared to nonsteatosis group. However, nonsignificant trends were noted. Overall, mortality for this coinfected population was 25% over 10 years, with liver disease as the most common cause of death.

conclusionsGiven the prevalence of steatosis in approximately half of coinfected patients, larger studies are warranted to determine if steatosis is associated with cardiac disease, diabetes, or liver disease progression in this population. Furthermore, 10-year mortality for this population was very high, underscoring the importance of HCV treatment and need for a better understanding of other variables responsible for decreased survival in this population.
