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

backgroundRecurrent hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection after liver transplantation (LT) has been a frequent and relevant problem in the past two decades. This analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of new interferon (IFN)-free direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapies in a large real-world cohort of HCV patients after LT.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed a cohort of 157 patients infected with HCV who underwent deceased donor LT between 1997 and 2014. Patient survival, outcome, and side effects of antiviral therapy were assessed.

resultsSurvival with recurrent HCV genotype 1 (GT1) infection was inferior to other HCV GTs (

conclusionDAA therapy was effective and safe in previous hard-to-treat patients after LT in this real-world cohort.
