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

objectiveTo assess impact of Direct Acting Antiviral (DAA) therapies for treatment of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) genotypes 1, 3 and 4 in a real-world cohort from India.

methodsAdults with chronic HCV infection treated with Sofosbuvir (SOF) and Ledipasvir (LDV) (genotypes 1 and 4) or SOF and Daclatasvir (DCV) (genotype 3), with or without Ribavirin (RBV) between December 2015 and December 2016 were included. The primary endpoint was Sustained Virological Response at Post-treatment Week 12 (SVR12).

resultsOf the 648 patients, 181 received SOF/LDV (65 with RBV) and 467 received SOF/DCV (135 with RBV). Most patients were males (65.4%), aged 41-60 years (49.4%) and treatment-naïve (92.6%). Genotype 3 (72.1%) was most common, followed by genotypes 1 (22.4%) and 4 (5.6%). Forty two percent patients (

conclusionsDAA therapy for HCV genotypes 1, 3 and 4 achieves high SVR rates in all patients, including those with cirrhosis and previous non-responders.
