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

Purpose: The research intended to present prospective data on the long-term prognosis of individuals with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection who received direct-acting antiviral agent (DAA) treatment. Patients and Methods: Patients who received DAA treatment at Tianjin Third Central Hospital and Tianjin Second People's Hospital were prospectively enrolled and subsequently underwent a longitudinal follow-up. This research monitored occurrences of virological relapse, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), mortality, and liver disease progression. The annualized incidence rates (AIRs), cumulative incidence rates of adverse events and risk factors were investigated. Changes in liver stiffness measurement (LSM), aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI) score, fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index, as well as the albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) scores were also documented. Results: A total of 862 individuals were followed up for 4.86 (P Conclusion: Cirrhotic patients exhibited increased susceptibility to virological relapse, HCC, unfavorable prognosis, and liver disease progression following DAA treatment. Consequently, it is imperative to implement a rigorous monitoring protocol for all cirrhotic patients after DAA treatment.
