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
backgroundThe emergence of a deletion mutant at hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5A-P32 (P32del) has recently been reported in a subset of chronic hepatitis C patients who experience virologic failure after direct-acting antiviral drug (DAA) treatment. This mutation confers extremely high resistance to NS5A inhibitors. No effective treatment has been established for cases with this mutation.
methodsWe used a JFH1-based recombinant virus with NS5A from a genotype 1b strain to introduce a P32del mutation. We inoculated human hepatocyte chimeric mice with sera from a patient with ledipasvir/sofosbuvir therapy failure carrying a genotype 1b HCV with NS5A L31M and P32del or from a DAA-naïve patient carrying wild-type virus.
resultsJFH1-based chimeric viruses with P32del showed sufficient levels of replication for in vitro assay despite the suppression of viral growth and infectious virus production. Variants with P32del exhibited severe resistance to all tested NS5A inhibitors, including daclatasvir, ledipasvir, elbasvir and velpatasvir, but were as susceptible to NS3/4A inhibitors, NS5B inhibitors, interferon alfa-2b, and ribavirin as wild-type viruses in the in vitro assay. The P32del mutant virus caused persistent infection in all inoculated chimeric mice with high viral titer and frequency. The virus was resistant to the ledipasvir/GS-558093 (a nucleotide analog inhibitor of NS5B polymerase) regimen but susceptible to either simeprevir plus GS-558093 or peg-interferon alfa-2b, compared to the wild-type virus.
conclusionTherapies combining at least two drugs among NS3/4A inhibitors, NS5B inhibitors and non-selective antiviral agents may be effective for HCV-infected patients with NS5A-P32del.
