The Real-world Efficacy and Safety of Ombitasvir/Paritaprevir/Ritonavir for Hepatitis C Genotype 1.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Objective There are few reports on the outcomes of 12-week paritaprevir, ombitasvir, and ritonavir (PTV/OBV/r) treatment in real-world clinical settings. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 12-week treatment with ritonavir-boosted paritaprevir and ombitasvir in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 infection in a real-world setting. Methods Fifty-eight patients with chronic hepatitis or compensated hepatic cirrhosis and genotype-1 HCV infection were treated with PTV/OBV/r and followed for 24 weeks after the completion of treatment in 10 centers in northern Tohoku. The efficacy and safety of this 12-week treatment regimen was analyzed. Results Among the 58 treated patients, 18 (31%) had compensated liver cirrhosis, while 11 (19%) patients had experienced treatment failure with another treatment regimen. NS5A resistance-associated variants (RAVs) were detected at baseline in 3 patients (5.2%), including Y93H in two patients and L31M in two patients. One patient had NS5A RAVs at both positions 93 and 31. The overall sustained virological response (SVR) 24 rate was 96.6%. Three patients with NS5A RAVs also achieved an SVR24. The SVR24 rate was not significantly affected by age, sex, prior treatment, prior history of HCC, or liver stiffness. The mean alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels decreased significantly during this treatment. Adverse events occurred in 15 patients (26%), 26% of which were grade 1 or 2. No severe adverse events occurred. Conclusion In this real-world study, 12-week PTV/OBV/r treatment was effective and safe for treating patients with HCV-1 infection who had chronic hepatitis or compensated hepatic cirrhosis.
