Hepatitis C Cascades: Data to Inform Hepatitis C Elimination in the United States.
Review in Public health reports (Washington, D.C. : 1974), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The United States has a goal to eliminate hepatitis C as a public health threat by 2030. To accomplish this goal, hepatitis C virus (HCV) care cascades (hereinafter, HCV cascades) can be used to measure progress toward HCV elimination and identify disparities in HCV testing and care. In this topical review of HCV cascades, we describe common definitions of cascade steps, review the application of HCV cascades in health care and public health settings, and discuss the strengths and limitations of data sources used. We use examples from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health as a case study to illustrate how multiple data sources can be leveraged to produce HCV cascades for public health purposes. HCV cascades in health care settings provide actionable data to improve health care quality and delivery of services in a single health system. In public health settings at jurisdictional and national levels, HCV cascades describe HCV diagnosis and treatment for populations, which can be challenging in the absence of a single data source containing complete, comprehensive, and timely data representing all steps of a cascade. Use of multiple data sources and strategies to improve interoperability of health care and public health data systems can advance the use of HCV cascades and speed progress toward HCV elimination.
