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

introductionHepatitis C Virus (HCV) is a chronic infection of the liver and the leading cause of liver failure and liver transplantation worldwide. While prior HCV therapies were prolonged and had variable success rates, the advent of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) has dramatically improved HCV therapy with minimal side effects, shorter treatment durations, and higher cure rates. Areas covered: In this paper, we review the literature discussing the use of Vedroprevir (GS-9451) in treatment of HCV in a variety of patient populations. Articles accessible on MEDLINE/PubMed were reviewed to provide context on chemistry, pharmacology, and efficacy of Vedroprevir in HCV treatment. Expert opinion: Vedroprevir is highly effective in reducing treatment duration in combination with other DAAs without compromising treatment success rates. GS-9451 is insufficient as HCV monotherapy due to low threshold for development of high level of resistance and must be combined with other DAAs to achieve sustained virologic response (SVR).
