Efficacy of Direct Acting Antivirals (DAA) therapy in patients with recurrent hepatitis C after liver and kidney transplantation: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background and objectives: Direct-acting antiviral (DAA) agents are now widely used to treat patients with hepatitis C infection (HCV) and effectively increase their sustained virologic response (SVR). However, the literature seems to lack or deficient evidence of DAA efficacy in more complicated patients, especially those with HCV reinfection after liver transplantation (LT) or liver-kidney (hepatorenal) transplantation (LKT). This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the effectiveness of two different DAA regimens in LT and LKT patients with HCV reinfection. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at three hospitals in Tehran, Iran, from 2014 to 2020, enrolling 53 patients with recurrent HCV infection after LT ( Results: Both DAA regimens were well-tolerated and effective, with 94.6% (35 of 37) achieving SVR-12 in the SOF + DCV group and 93.8% (15 of 16) in the SOF + LDV group. Additionally, SVR-12 rates were promising across treatment durations, with 93.9% (31 of 33) in the 12-week group and 95% (19 of 20) in the 24-week group achieving undetectable HCV RNA. No significant difference in SVR was observed between the two regimens ( Conclusion: The DAA-based therapeutic regimen was well tolerated and showed significant effectiveness in achieving the virologic response in patients with HCV reinfection after LT or LKT.
