Project HCV Connect: Using a County Surveillance Registry to Link Hepatitis C Virus-Infected Residents to Cure-Los Angeles County, April 2023 to March 2024.
Article in Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Los Angeles County has a high prevalence of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, but resources and infrastructure to notify and increase treatment uptake among county residents are absent. Through an innovative academic-public partnership, we developed a linkage-to-cure program utilizing the Department of Public Health's HCV surveillance registry. Case workers contacted reported cases via phone, to offer education, and treatment referral. Three months after the initial communication, individuals that reported that they were untreated were recontacted to evaluate treatment status. Between April 2023 and March 2024, a total of 639 individuals with HCV were interviewed; 84% of them were aware of their infection status, and 70% were untreated. Among those interviewed three months after initial communication (n = 260), 22% started or completed treatment and 30% were under evaluation for treatment. Leveraging existing resources and new partnerships Public Health Departments could mobilize individuals to seek medical care and lead the effort towards elimination of HCV.
