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
Purpose: The aim of the present work was to investigate whether hepatitis C virus treatment by directly acting antivirals obligate shifting patients with type 2 diabetes from oral hypoglycemic drugs to insulin therapy. Methods: This was a prospective study including 92 treatment-naïve patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection and type 2 diabetes who were eligible for treatment with directly acting antivirals (sofosbuvir + daclatasvir ± ribavirin). Patients in the study were divided into two groups; group 1 included 22 patients on insulin therapy and group 2 included 70 patients on oral antidiabetic medications. Patients were advised to keep on their anti-diabetic treatment. Results: All our patients achieved sustained virologic response with significantly lower HbA Conclusion: Achievement of sustained virologic response using interferon free, directly acting antivirals-based regimen was associated with significantly lower HbA
