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

BACKGROUND/

aimsAs the most common liver disease in hemodialysis patients, chronic hepatitis C (CHC) can cause cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, even increase in renal-related mortality. In Turkey, the frequency of anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibodies in hemodialysis patients ranged from 31.4% to 51%. Until recently, the mainstay of the CHC treatment for these patients was pegylated interferon with potential toxicities and low sustained virological response. The 3D regimen, a combination of four drugs (ombitasvir, paritaprevir, dasabuvir, and ritonavir), has recently been used for patients with chronic kidney disease infected with genotype 1a and 1b HCV. The aim of the present study was to present results of 3D treatment for patients with hemodialysis-dependent chronic renal failure (CRF) who were chronically infected with HCV. MATERIALS AND

methodsOverall, 25 patients with hemodialysis-dependent CRF who were infected with genotype 1a/1b HCV have been treated using the 3D regimen in our gastroenterology clinic between July 2016 and October 2017. Three patients were administered additional ribavirin 200 mg/day. Serum HCV RNAs, blood chemistry, blood count, and side effects were recorded at 0, 4, and 12 weeks.

resultsAll 25 patients completed and well tolerated their planned treatment. At the end of 4 weeks, the viral response (defined as HCV RNA clearance) rate was 92%. At the end of 12 weeks of treatment and 3 months after treatment, viral response rates were both 100%.

conclusionWe observed that the treatment with 3D regimen in hemodialysis patients infected with genotype 1 hepatitis C is highly effective and well tolerated.
