Unsuccessful Direct Acting Antiviral Hepatitis C Treatment Among People With HIV: Findings From an International Cohort.
Article in Liver international : official journal of the International Association for the Study of the Liver, 2025. 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
backgroundHistorically, hepatitis C virus (HCV) was difficult to treat among people with HIV. However, treatment with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) results in 90%-95% of people being cured. There is a need to understand why a proportion of people are not cured. We aimed to examine characteristics that may indicate an increased probability of unsuccessful DAA HCV treatment.
methodsData were from the International Collaboration on Hepatitis C Elimination in HIV Cohorts. People who commenced DAA HCV treatment between 2014 and 2019 were included. Unsuccessful treatment was defined as a positive HCV RNA test at a person's first RNA test at least 4 weeks (SVR4+) following the end of treatment. Multivariable mixed-effects logistic regression was used to examine characteristics associated with unsuccessful treatment.
resultsOf 4468 people who commenced DAA treatment, 4098 (91.7%) had an SVR test 4+ weeks following the end of treatment, 207 (5%) of whom were unsuccessfully treated. Compared to a CD4+ cell count > 500 cells/mm
conclusionsThe overwhelming majority of people were successfully treated for HCV. Overall, 5% of those with an SVR4+ test were unsuccessfully treated; this was more likely among people with evidence of immunodeficiency and those who reported recently injecting drugs.
