Multiscale model of hepatitis C virus dynamics in plasma and liver following combination therapy.
Article in CPT: pharmacometrics & systems pharmacology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
This work explores the application of a physiologically structured population (PSP) framework in modeling hepatitis C virus (HCV) kinetics. To do so, a model was developed for the viral RNA load in plasma and liver as observed in 15 patients treated with a combination therapy of pegylated interferon, ribavirin, and telaprevir. By including both intracellular and extracellular processes of the HCV lifecycle, the model provided a description of the treatment effect on the intracellular HCV lifecycle. Combining PSP models with a nonlinear mixed effects approach in a single model permits a natural inclusion of the direct-acting antiviral effect on intracellular processes, which can then be integrated with the viral kinetics within the host while accounting for the interindividual variability between patients. This should allow an exploration of the treatment effect within the entire chronic HCV-infected population.
