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

The advent of oral direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) has dramatically improved the hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment landscape in the last 4 years, providing cure rates over 95% with a shorter duration of treatment and a very good safety profile. This has enabled access to treatment in nearly all HCV infected patients. The launch of two pangenotypic fixed dose combinations (FDCs) in 2017 made a new step forward in HCV treatment by slightly increasing efficacy and more importantly allowing the treatment of patients without HCV genotyping, and in some cases without fibrosis assessment. However, retreatment of the few DAA failure patients was still an issue for some HCV genotypes. The launch of the triple regimen FDC, sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir, solves this issue by providing a cure rate over 96% regardless of HCV genotype. In this review, we describe the current HCV treatment landscape and focus on the development of this triple FDC either in treatment-naïve or treatment-experienced patients with previous failure on a DAA regimen.
