Sustained Virologic Suppression After 4 Weeks of Ledipasvir/Sofosbuvir in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Co-Infection.

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
BACKGROUND Short-course hepatitis C (HCV) treatment with direct-acting antivirals (DAA) under 8 weeks in duration has resulted in variable efficacy rates in HCV mono-infection. Further, DAA courses under 8 weeks in duration have not been studied in HIV/HCV co-infection. We present a case report of 12-week sustained virologic suppression after treatment interruption of ledipasvir/sofosbuvir at 4 weeks in a patient with HIV/HCV co-infection. CASE REPORT A 28-year-old male patient diagnosed with well-controlled HIV infection and HCV co-infection (treatment-naïve, genotype 1a, unknown hepatic fibrosis) started a 12-week course of ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF) for HCV treatment. The patient completed only 4 weeks of LDV/SOF before returning for follow-up 7 weeks after initiation. Ledipasvir/sofosbuvir treatment was discontinued. Sustained virologic suppression at 12 weeks was observed after completion of a short, 4-week course of LDV/SOF. CONCLUSIONS Compared to currently recommended treatment durations, clinical trials of short-course DAA treatments of less than 8 weeks have not demonstrated successful rates of SVR12. However, in cases of DAA interruption or incomplete treatment, clinicians may choose to assess for SVR12 prior to continuing or restarting the full treatment course.
