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

purpose of reviewHepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a principal cause of morbidity, mortality, and economic burden, and the global elimination of HCV is now considered a public health objective. Globally, an estimated 71 million have chronic HCV infection with an estimated annual mortality of 3,99,000. RECENT

findingsThe 69th World health Assembly has endorsed the global HCV elimination strategy by 2030, which is made possible because of all oral, cost-effective, efficacious, generic direct-acting antivirals. The public health strategy targets not only diagnosed chronic hepatitis C patients but also asymptomatic undiagnosed HCV-infected individuals, persons living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), post-transplant, thallasemia, persons who inject drugs, and the pediatric population. Mobilization of state-sponsored HCV elimination programs in a global coalition against HCV has taken root in Egypt, India, Georgia, Mongolia, China, Australia, and Brazil. This review summarizes current HCV elimination initiatives in terms of medical progress, barriers to HCV elimination, and current gaps in knowledge and social outreach from the public health perspective.
