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 association between hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and type 2 diabetes (T2D) has been known for over 20 years. Cross-sectional and longitudinal studies have shown a higher prevalence and incidence, respectively, of T2D in patients with chronic HCV infection. HCV induces glucose metabolism alterations mostly interfering with the insulin signaling chain in hepatocytes, although extrahepatic mechanisms seem to contribute. Both IR and T2D accelerate the histological and clinical progression of chronic hepatitis C as well as the risk of extra-hepatic complications such as nephropathy, acute coronary events and ischemic stroke. Before the availability of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), the therapeutic choice was limited to interferon (IFN)-based therapy, which reduced the incidence of the extra-hepatic manifestations but was burdened with several contraindications and poor tolerability. A better understanding of HCV-associated glucose metabolism derangements and their reversibility is expected with the use of DAAs.
