Effects of chronic kidney disease stage 4, end-stage renal disease, or dialysis on the plasma concentrations of ombitasvir, paritaprevir, ritonavir, and dasabuvir in patients with chronic HCV infection: pharmacokinetic analysis of the phase 3 RUBY-I and RUBY-II trials.
Trial report in European journal of clinical pharmacology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
The trial behind it

Abstract
purposeTo characterize the pharmacokinetics of ombitasvir, paritaprevir, ritonavir, dasabuvir, and ribavirin in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected patients with chronic kidney disease stage 4 (CKD4) or end-stage renal disease (ESRD), including those on dialysis, in the open-label phase 3 RUBY-I and RUBY-II studies.
methodsPatients (n = 18 CKD4, n = 68 ESRD) received ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir 25/150/100 mg once daily ± dasabuvir 250 mg twice daily ± ribavirin 200 mg once daily for 12 or 24 weeks. Intensive pharmacokinetic samples were collected from ten patients; sparse samples were collected from all patients. Arterial and venous samples were collected from three patients during hemodialysis. Area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) was estimated using noncompartmental analyses for intensive data, and steady-state trough concentrations (C
resultsThe AUC values of ombitasvir, paritaprevir, ritonavir, and dasabuvir were comparable between CKD4 and ESRD patients and were within the range of values observed in historical studies; dialysis had no effect on drug exposures. Ribavirin was extracted during hemodialysis but had similar exposures on dialysis and non-dialysis days. Individual steady-state C
conclusionPlasma concentrations of ombitasvir, paritaprevir, ritonavir, and dasabuvir were not altered by renal impairment or dialysis, suggesting these agents can be administered to HCV-infected CKD4 or ESRD patients, including those on dialysis, without dose adjustment.
