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

Patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) often have elevated serum markers and histologic features of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). We evaluated an HCV-positive (HCV+) study group that had elevated serum markers of AIH before starting direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy (n = 21) and compared them to an HCV+ control group that did not have laboratory studies suggesting AIH (n = 21). Several patients in the study (17/21) and control (11/21) groups had liver biopsies before DAA treatment, and many were biopsied due to elevated serum markers of AIH. Evaluation of pre-DAA treatment liver biopsies showed histologic features suggestive of AIH in 64.7% (11/17) of the study group and 45.5% (5/11) of the control group. Patients who were HCV+ with elevated serum markers of AIH had significantly increased hepatitis activity (
