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

backgroundOur data is one of the earliest study from the Indian subcontinent on Velpatasvir/Sofosbuvir (VEL/SOF) combination in chronic hepatitis C (CHC). The primary end point was to evaluate sustained virologic response (SVR) 12 in CHC-infected patients and to determine its effect in patients with hepatitis C virus-related cirrhosis. The secondary end point was to observe any adverse events related to treatment.

methodsAll patients with CHC were randomized into two groups: noncirrhotic and cirrhotic. The combination of VEL/SOF was given as recommended.

resultsOne hundred patients with CHC infection treated with the VEL/SOF regimen were evaluated. A total of 79 (79%) of 100 patients were noncirrhotic, and 21 (21%) were cirrhotic. We achieved SVR12 in 99 (99%) of 100 patients. Among cirrhotics, the mean serum bilirubin (mg/dl), albumin (g/dl), and platelet count (×10³/μL) improved from baseline 1.82 ± 0.87, 3.22 ± 0.69, and 80.19 ± 46.03 to 1.74 ± 0.87, 3.48 ± 0.72, and 85.05 ± 42.50, respectively, at SVR12 (

conclusionA single daily dose of the tablet SOF/VEL combination is safe and effective in all types of CHC. There was a significant improvement in the mean transaminase level and LSM at SVR12. And the MELD score improved by 1 point at SVR12 among cirrhotics.
