Effects of ribavirin/sofosbuvir treatment and ITPA phenotype on endogenous purines.
Article in Antiviral research, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Ribavirin (RBV), a purine analog, causes hemolytic anemia in some patients. In vitro, anemia appears to result from depletion of endogenous purines, but there are limited data in vivo. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the gene encoding the inosine triphosphatase (ITPA) enzyme have been associated with protection against RBV-induced anemia and may mediate the effect of RBV treatment on endogenous purines. The purpose of this work was to determine the effect of RBV treatment on endogenous purine concentrations in individuals being treated for chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), guanosine triphosphate (GTP), inosine triphosphate (ITP) and ribavirin triphosphate (RTP) were measured in whole blood obtained from 47 HCV-infected individuals at day zero (baseline), day three, day 28 and day 84 of RBV/sofosbuvir (SOF) treatment. ATP decreased -35.1% and -38.6% (p < 0.0001) at day 28 and day 84 of treatment, respectively compared to baseline. The decrease in ATP was greater in patients with ≤60% ITPA activity compared to those with 100% ITPA activity (-29.4% vs. -9.6%). GTP did not change during treatment but was 16.5% (p = 0.01) higher per 100 pmol/10
