Update on Pediatric Hepatitis C Infection.
Review in Current gastroenterology reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeof reviewHepatitis C virus (HCV) infections continue to steadily increase in the United States and remain a major public health challenge. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of HCV infection in children, focusing on recent advancements in screening, diagnosis, and treatment. RECENT
findingsEffective screening strategies, including universal screening of pregnant women and nucleic acid testing for all perinatally exposed infants at 2 to 6 months of age, have been implemented to identify infected individuals early. Direct-acting antiviral agents have revolutionized treatment, offering high cure rates for children of all ages. Despite significant progress, challenges remain in achieving HCV elimination. These include the need for improved access to testing and treatment, as well as ongoing efforts to develop a preventive vaccine. Continued research and implementation of effective strategies are essential to reduce the burden of HCV infection.
