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

The transplantation of organs from donors with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection into uninfected recipients has expanded the available organ donor pool. With the advancement of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), high rates of cure among transplant recipients are possible. Although DAAs are highly effective, treatment failure can occur following an appropriate 12-week course of a pan-genotypic regimen. Here we describe 4 kidney transplant recipients of organs from donors with HCV infection (3 with genotype 3, 1 genotype 1a) in whom first-line DAA treatment with either glecaprevir-pibrentasvir or sofosbuvir-velpatasvir was unsuccessful, started 22-35 days after the day of transplantation. All ultimately achieved sustained virologic response with second- or third-line therapy. Post-treatment resistance-associated substitutions were tested and noted to be present in 2 cases. Additionally, antiviral levels were assessed in 2 cases and found to be therapeutic in each. This article explores possible reasons for treatment failure, including medication interactions, bariatric surgery, viral dynamics, and drug resistance.
