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

A 49-year-old man underwent treatment with glecaprevir plus pibrentasvir (G/P) for chronic hepatitis C infection. Six weeks later, he was admitted to our hospital because of jaundice and fatigue with no accompanying skin rash. A laboratory examination and evaluation of the patient's history resulted in a diagnosis of acute liver injury. Discontinuation of G/P and a rigorous medical protocol, including plasma exchange and hemodiafiltration, successfully mitigated the liver damage. The patient was also found to be allergic to two drugs other than the G/P therapy. In such cases with a history of drug allergy, careful observation may be required to detect serious adverse events.
