Management of HCV-Associated Liver Cirrhosis.
Review in Visceral medicine, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
backgroundTreatment of chronic hepatitis C infection is most urgent in patients with severe liver fibrosis and cirrhosis because of the high risk of decompensation, hepatocellular carcinoma, and consecutively death. The development and approval of several direct-acting antiviral drugs (DAA) in the past years has revolutionized antiviral therapy especially for patients with liver cirrhosis.
methodsThis review will focus on recent data from clinical trials and recommendations for the therapy of hepatitis C-infected patients with compensated cirrhosis.
resultsClinical data for cirrhotic patients mainly exist for a combination of the nucleotide analog sofosbuvir with either a protease inhibitor (simeprevir) or an NS5A inhibitor (daclatasvir, ledipasvir) or a three-DAA combination consisting of an NS3 protease inhibitor, an NS5A inhibitor, and a non-nucleoside NS5B inhibitor (paritaprevir/ritonavir, ombitasvir, and dasabuvir). Rates of sustained virologic response in patients with compensated cirrhosis are comparable to patients without cirrhosis; however, the addition of ribavirin and/or longer treatment durations are especially recommended when other negative predictors are present, such as prior treatment failure, features of advanced cirrhosis, or the presence of baseline resistance.
conclusionNowadays, a highly active, short, and safe interferon-free treatment regimen is available for almost all patients.
