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 AND

aimsIn literature systematic data on treatment with the fixed-dose combination of sofosbuvir and velpatasvir for 12 weeks in anti-HCV/HCV RNA positive subjects with mild fibrosis and naïve to previous Interferon free regimen are scanty. A meta-analysis has been performed to evaluate the efficacy of velpatasvir plus sofosbuvir combination in these patients.

methodsAll randomized or non-randomized studies,  investigating the sustained virological response rate to sofosbuvir plus velpatasvir without ribavirin for 12 weeks in subjects naïve to previous DAA therapy and with fibrosis F0-F2 or F0-F3, were included in the meta-analysis.

resultsA total of 16 studies enrolling 4,907 subjects met the inclusion criteria and were included in this meta-analysis. The prevalence of SVR by sofosbuvir and velpatasvir was 98% (95% CI 96-99%) in the 4,907 subjects without cirrhosis. The prevalence of SVR was similar considering the 9 clinical studies and the 7 real-world studies (98%, CI 95%: 96-99% and 98%; CI 95%: 96-99%, respectively). Considering the 4 studies enrolling 1,371 subjects without advanced liver fibrosis the prevalence of SVR was also high [96% (95% CI: 94-98%)]. Data indicate a prevalence of SVR ranging to 95-100% according to the different HCV genotypes.

conclusionSofosbuvir plus velpatasvir therapeutic regimen was highly effective in HCV patients without advanced liver disease naïve to previous DAA regimen independently the different HCV genotypes.
