Efficacy and Safety of Ribavirin with Sofosbuvir Plus Ledipasvir in Patients with Genotype 1 Hepatitis C: A Meta-Analysis.

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
backgroundSofosbuvir and ledipasvir with or without ribavirin (RBV) regimens (SLR vs. SL) have exhibited promising results for the treatment of patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 infection.
aimTo comprehensively compare the efficacy and safety of the SL and SLR regimen for the treatment of chronic HCV genotype 1 infections.
methodsThe Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, and EMBASE databases were searched. Only RCTs that compared the efficacy and safety of SL or SLR regimen for the treatment of chronic HCV genotype 1 infection were included. The primary outcome measures were the sustained virological response weeks 12 (SVR12) post-treatment and adverse events (AEs).
resultsSeven studies comprising 2601 patients were included. Compared with the SL regimen, SLR yielded a similar probability of having an SVR12 (RR 1.002, 95 % CI 0.998, 1.017, P = 0.780). Based on subgroup analyses, the addition of RBV to the 8-week SL regimen improved the SVR12 rate. However, the SLR regimen for 12 or 24 weeks did not show a superior SVR12 rate regardless of treatment history and the presence or absence of cirrhosis. The pooled incidence of AEs was higher in patients that received the SLR treatment regimen (RR 1.140, 95 % CI 1.095, 1.187, P = 0.000).
conclusionsThe 12-week or 24-week SL regimen with a low incidence of AEs is as effective and well tolerated as the SLR regimen for the treatment of patients with chronic HCV genotype 1 infection.
