Safety and efficacy of elbasvir/grazoprevir for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C: current evidence.
Review in Drug design, development and therapy, 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
Treatments for hepatitis C virus (HCV) have advanced greatly, becoming more efficacious with fewer adverse events, due to the availability of direct-acting antiviral agents, which target specific steps in the HCV life cycle. Recently, a combination regimen consisting of the HCV nonstructural protein 5A inhibitor elbasvir (EBR) and the HCV NS3/4A protease inhibitor grazoprevir (GZR) was approved for the treatment of patients with chronic HCV and genotypes (Gts) 1 and 4 in various countries. In Phase III trials, the combination of EBR/GZR (fixed-dose combination table or single agent) for 12 or 16 weeks of treatment with or without ribavirin resulted in a high sustained virological response at 12 weeks in treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced patients with HCV Gt 1a, 1b, 4, or 6, including special populations, such as individuals with advanced chronic kidney disease, HCV-HIV coinfection, and compensated cirrhosis. In this review, we focus on the mode of action, pharmacokinetics, clinical applications, efficacy, and safety profile of EBR/GZR, including special populations who have been considered refractory from the extensive evidence of clinical trials.
