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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundA safe, simple, effective, and pan-genotypic regimen to treat hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in patients coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) remains a medical need. We assessed the efficacy and safety of the NS5B polymerase inhibitor sofosbuvir and the NS5A inhibitor velpatasvir for HCV in patients coinfected with HIV-1.

methodsThis phase 3, open-label, single-arm study at 17 sites in the United States enrolled patients with HCV of any genotype and HIV-1 coinfection, including those with compensated cirrhosis. All patients received sofosbuvir-velpatasvir once daily for 12 weeks. The primary endpoint was sustained virologic response 12 weeks after treatment (SVR12). Efficacy and safety were assessed in all patients receiving at least 1 dose of treatment.

resultsOf 106 patients, 91 (86%) were men, 48 (45%) were black, and 19 (18%) had cirrhosis. SVR12 was achieved by 101 of 106 (95% [95% confidence interval {CI}, 89%-99%]) patients: 74 of 78 (95% [95% CI, 87%-99%]) with genotype 1; all 11 (100% [95% CI, 72%-100%]) with genotype 2; 11 of 12 (92% [95% CI, 62%-100%]) with genotype 3; and all 5 (100% [95% CI, 48%-100%]) with genotype 4. All 19 patients with cirrhosis had SVR12. Two patients relapsed, 2 were lost to follow-up, and 1 withdrew consent. Two discontinued treatment due to adverse events and 2 had serious adverse events. The most common adverse events were fatigue (25%), headache (13%), upper respiratory tract infection (8%), and arthralgia (8%).

conclusionsSofosbuvir-velpatasvir for 12 weeks was safe and provided high rates of SVR12 in patients coinfected with HCV and HIV-1. CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTRATION: NCT02480712.
