Impact of HIV infection on the dynamics of liver stiffness in patients with hepatitis C virus chronic infection after sustained virological response.
Article in EClinicalMedicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04460157 (Development of a Predictive Model of Liver Complications Emergence in Patients With Advanced Fibrosis Who Achieve Sustained Virological Response With Direct-acting Antivirals-based Therapy), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Background: After sustained virological response (SVR), liver stiffness (LS) usually decreases. However, information related to the impact of HIV co-infection in patients with advanced fibrosis is scarce. The aim was to analyze the impact of HIV co-infection on the LS dynamics after HCV cure. Methods: Prospective study conducted in the GEHEP-011 multicenter cohort (initiated in October 2011-November 2023, ID NCT04460157), including patients with chronic HCV infection, with or without HIV co-infection, fulfilling: 1) SVR with direct-acting antivirals; 2) pre-treatment LS ≥ 9.5 kPa; 3) available measurement of LS at SVR. Pre-treatment, SVR and annual post-treatment LS were assessed. The primary outcome was time to LS normalization achievement (≤7.2 kPa) in two consecutive examinations. Findings: 1138 patients were included, 678 (60%) of whom were living with HIV (PLWH). The median time between the first to the last measure was 35 (17-69) months. In total, 390 [34% (95% confidence interval, 31%-37%)] patients achieved LS normalization, 169 [37% (CI 95%, 34%-43%)] individuals with HCV mono-infection vs. 221 [32% (CI 95%, 29%-36%)] PLWH achieved LS normalization (p = 0.003). The propensity score (PS) for HIV infection was calculated. In a multivariate model for competing risks (death was the competing event) adjusted for HIV, PS and diabetes, HIV infection was associated with a lower probability of achieving normalization [sHR = 0.82 (95% CI, 0.67-1.00), p = 0.045]. Matching by closer PS was performed. In the resultant subset, the probability of achieving LS normalization was again lower in PLWH [sHR = 0.76 (0.56-0.97), p < 0.001]. Interpretation: After SVR, the probability of reaching LS normalization is significantly lower in PLWH. This could have implications on the development of long-term clinical events.
