Hepatic Markers and Immunological Trajectories in a Cohort of Patients with HIV and Hepatitis C Virus Coinfection Treated with Direct-Acting Antivirals.
Article in AIDS research and human retroviruses, 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
Persons with HIV (PWH) have disproportionate hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection prevalence and liver-related morbidity and mortality. These sequelae may be alleviated by curative direct-acting antiviral (DAA) treatment; however, longitudinal effects of DAAs on clinical biomarkers are not well-characterized. We included PWH enrolled in the HIV Outpatient Study (HOPS) who were prescribed DAAs and DAA-naïve PWH of comparable age, sex, race/ethnicity, and fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) profiles. We contrasted the DAA effect on longitudinal trajectories of immunological and hepatic markers using generalized linear mixed models (GLMM) from 2010 to 2020. Of 347 PWH/HCV coinfection, median age was 53.8 years, 30.5% were women, 67.1% were publicly insured, 44.4% were non-Hispanic Black, and 153 (44.1%) were prescribed DAAs (median follow-up = 3.55 years). In multivariable GLMM analysis, DAA treatment was associated with [mean (95% confidence interval)] faster decline in alanine aminotransferase of -7.86 mu/µL/year (-15.39, -0.33) and faster increase in platelets of 6.99 mu/µL/year (2.89, 11.09). Changes in aspartate aminotransferase were comparable between groups. FIB-4 decreased in the DAA-treated but not the DAA-naïve group: -0.26 (-0.41, -0.11) versus 0.02 (-0.16, 0.20)/year, respectively. There was a faster increase in cluster of differentiation (CD)4 count of 0.05 (0.03-0.08) and CD8 count of 0.04 (0.02-0.07) log cells/mL/year in the DAA-treated compared with the DAA-naïve group (
