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

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is susceptible to resistance-associated substitutions (RASs) in the NS3, NS5A, and NS5B nonstructural genes, key targets of the direct-acting antivirals (DAAs). This study aimed to assess the prevalence and distribution of RASs across different HCV subtypes in Mexico. A Genbank dataset of 566 HCV sequences was analyzed. Most sequences were from Mexico City (49.1%, 278/566) and Jalisco (39.4%, 223/566). The NS5B region was the most sequenced (59.7%, 338/566). The most frequent HCV subtypes were 1a (44.0%, 249/566), 1b (28.6%, 162/566), 2b (9.5%, 54/566), and 3a (6.2%, 35/566). Subtypes 1a (57.4%, 128/223) and 3a (12.6%, 28/223) were significantly higher in Jalisco than in Mexico City (34.2%, 95/278 and 2.5%, 7/278), whereas subtype 1b was higher in Mexico City (34.5%, 96/278 vs. 14.8%, 33/223). Subtype 1a increased from 2019 to 2024, representing 49.4% (123/249) of all reported cases. RASs were detected in NS3 (6.7%, 1/15), NS5A (2.9%, 3/102), and NS5B (0.3%, 1/349), with the most frequent mutations being Q80K, Y93H, and S282T, respectively, and detected in subtypes 1b (
