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

introductionResults of Sofosbuvir based regimens for hepatitis C (HCV) recurrence after liver transplantation are available from well-designed clinical trials. Most of the data is from deceased donor liver transplant (DDLT) setting, and data on "real world" experience for HCV recurrence after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is limited. MATERIAL AND

methodsConsecutive 78 patients who completed Sofosbuvir based HCV treatment after liver transplantation were included. Following Sofosbuvir based regimens were used; Sofosbuvir + Ribavirin (

resultsA total of 74/78 (94.8%) patients achieved end of treatment response (ETR) while 4 did not achieve ETR. A total of 68/76 (89.4%) patients achieved sustained virological response at 12 weeks (SVR12). while 2 are waiting for 12 weeks follow up after ETR. Twelve patients had history of failed previous treatment with Peginterferon and Ribavirin after LDLT, all these patients achieved ETR and 11/12 had SVR12. There was no statistical difference in response rates between genotype 1 or 3. Eighteen patients (16 on Ribavirin) had hemoglobin < 8 g/dl; two patients complained fatigue in absence of anemia.

conclusionSofosbuvir based regimens are safe and highly effective in treatment of HCV recurrence after LDLT.
