Cost Effectiveness of Daclatasvir Plus Asunaprevir Therapy for Chinese Patients with Chronic Hepatitis C Virus Genotype 1b.
Article in Clinical drug investigation, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesDaclatasvir plus asunaprevir has shown superior efficacy and safety for treating hepatitis C virus genotype 1b infection in comparison with pegylated interferon and ribavirin. The objective of this analysis is to investigate the cost effectiveness of daclatasvir plus asunaprevir compared with interferon-α-based therapies from the perspective of the Chinese healthcare system.
methodsA Markov model was established to measure economic and health outcomes of daclatasvir plus asunaprevir compared with general interferon-α plus ribavirin and pegylated interferon plus ribavirin for hepatitis C virus genotype 1b infection. We also considered the two following scenarios: 24 weeks of daclatasvir plus asunaprevir used as a second-line treatment for ineligible/intolerant and non-responding patients with HCV during 48 weeks of first-line interferon-α plus ribavirin (interferon-α plus ribavirin and daclatasvir plus asunaprevir) or pegylated interferon plus ribavirin (pegylated interferon plus ribavirin and daclatasvir plus asunaprevir) treatment. Clinical costs and utility inputs were derived from the published literature. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was shown as costs in US dollars per quality-adjusted life-years gained. Uncertainty was examined by one-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses.
resultsCompared with interferon-α plus ribavirin, pegylated interferon and ribavirin, interferon-α plus ribavirin plus daclatasvir plus asunaprevir, and pegylated interferon plus ribavirin plus daclatasvir plus asunaprevir strategies, daclatasvir plus asunaprevir gained an additional 0.62, 0.32, 0.20, and 0.15 quality-adjusted life-year with increasing costs of US$11,950, US$671, US$8366, and -$3783, respectively. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratios of pegylated interferon and ribavirin, daclatasvir plus asunaprevir, interferon-α plus ribavirin and daclatasvir plus asunaprevir, and pegylated interferon plus ribavirin and daclatasvir plus asunaprevir against the baseline interferon-α plus ribavirin strategy were US$37,930, US$19,233, US$8495, and US$33,031 per quality-adjusted life-year gained. Daclatasvir plus asunaprevir and interferon-α plus ribavirin plus daclatasvir plus asunaprevir were presented as the cost-effective alternatives, and pegylated interferon plus ribavirin and pegylated interferon plus ribavirin and daclatasvir plus asunaprevir strategies dominated. The model outputs were sensitive to a patient's age, discount rate, and the risk ratio between pegylated interferon plus ribavirin and interferon-α plus ribavirin.
conclusionsDaclatasvir plus asunaprevir in the Chinese setting is likely to be cost effective for treating hepatitis C virus genotype 1b infection.
