Validation of a Simplified Laboratory-Based HCV Clearance Definition Using New York City Hepatitis C Program and Surveillance Data.
Observational study in Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
contextLaboratory-based hepatitis C virus (HCV) clearance cascades are an important tool for health departments to track progress toward HCV elimination, but a laboratory-based definition of HCV clearance has not yet been validated.
objectiveTo compare agreement between a laboratory-based HCV clearance definition with a clinical cure definition.
designObservational.
settingNew York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene HCV surveillance system data and New York City hepatitis C linkage-to-care program data.
participantsLinkage-to-care program participants who were diagnosed with hepatitis C and enrolled in the linkage-to-care program from July 1, 2016, through June 30, 2020.
main outcome measurePercent agreement between a laboratory-based HCV clearance definition (surveillance system) and a clinical cure definition (program data).
resultsAmong 591 program participants with known treatment outcome, the laboratory-based HCV clearance definition and clinical cure definition were concordant in 573 cases (97%).
conclusionsA laboratory-based HCV clearance definition based on public health surveillance data can be a reliable source for monitoring HCV elimination.
