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 is a disease with a significant global impact. Over the last several years, the treatment of the disease has been revolutionized. Therapy has transformed over the last several years with the approval of second generation direct acting antivirals, and currently utilized medications for the treatment of hepatitis C are significantly more efficacious with better safety profiles than previously approved treatments. Treatment for individuals who have failed therapy on direct acting antivirals has, until recently, been complex and difficult to treat, but the approval of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir represents a new therapeutic option for these individuals. Areas covered: Sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir is a recently approved therapeutic combination for the treatment of hepatitis C. This article reviews the studies leading to the approval of the combination, and its efficacy and safety profile. Expert opinion: Sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir fills one of the previously unfilled niches for the treatment of hepatitis C, that of the treatment of individuals who have failed therapy with resistant virus. With the filling of this niche, there appears to be a general slowing of the development of new therapeutics. Although understandable, in the long term, there are considerable risks associated with the decreased development of new drugs to treat hepatitis C.
