The Effect of Viral Clearance Achieved by Direct-Acting Antiviral Agents on Hepatitis C Virus Positive Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Word of Caution after the Initial Enthusiasm.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The causal link between chronic hepatitis C and glycometabolic alterations has been confirmed by much biochemical, clinical, and epidemiological research work, but what is still controversial is the long-term clinical impact of sustained virologic response (SVR) achieved by direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) on patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). The aim of this paper is to summarize the biochemical and clinical consequences to DM of DAA-based therapy for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. An electronic search of Embase, PubMed, MEDLINE, Ovid, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews was conducted for publications assessing whether clearance of HCV achieved by interferon (IFN)-free antiviral therapy determines significant changes in glycometabolic control and clinical outcomes of diabetic patients. A beneficial effect of SVR obtained by DAA therapy on DM prevention and the short-term outcome of glycometabolic alterations are acknowledged by most of the studies. Whether this effect is maintained over the long term with a significant clinical impact on diabetic and liver disease is still a matter of debate.
