Simeprevir, daclatasvir, and sofosbuvir for hepatitis C virus-infected patients: Long-term follow-up results from the open-label, Phase II IMPACT study.
Article in Health science reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02262728 (A Phase 2 Open-label Study to Investigate the Efficacy, Safety and Pharmacokinetics of 12 Weeks of Treatment With Simeprevir, Daclatasvir and Sofosbuvir, Followed by a 5-Year Post-treatment Long-term Follow-up, in Treatment-naïve and Treatment-experienced Subjects With Chronic Hepatitis C Virus Genotype 1 or 4 Infection and Decompensated Liver Disease), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
aimsDirect-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection have resulted in high rates of sustained virologic response (SVR) following 8 to 24 weeks of treatment. However, difficult-to-cure/cirrhotic patients typically require a longer treatment duration and less is known regarding the long-term durability of SVR or effect on liver disease progression; to assess this, the IMPACT study followed patients for a 3-year period after end of treatment.
methodsThe Phase II, open-label, nonrandomized IMPACT study assessed the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of the combination of three DAAs (simeprevir, sofosbuvir, and daclatasvir) in HCV genotype 1/4-infected, treatment-naïve/-experienced cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension or decompensated liver disease. Patients from a single site in the United States were assigned to one of two groups by Child-Pugh (CP) score: CP A, CP score less than 7 and evidence of portal hypertension; CP B, CP score of 7 to 9. All patients received simeprevir 150 mg, daclatasvir 60 mg, and sofosbuvir 400 mg once-daily for 12 weeks between September 2014 and August 2015. All 40 patients included in the study (male, 63%; median age, 58.5 years) achieved SVR 12 and 24 weeks after end of treatment, and the combination was well tolerated.
resultsAll patients who reached the 3-year follow-up timepoint maintained SVR (CP A, 15/15; CP B, 18/18). CP scores and Model for End-stage Liver Disease scores remained relatively stable, and mean FibroScan and FibroTest scores declined. No new safety signals were identified.
conclusionsIn the IMPACT study, virologic response to simeprevir, sofosbuvir, and daclatasvir was durable over 3 years (http://ClinicalTrials.gov number: NCT02262728).
