A single center experience of concomitant administration of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir and amiodarone after heart and lung transplantation.
Article in JHLT open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The advent of direct-acting antiviral agents (DAA) allows for the utilization of hepatitis C (HCV) viremic donors to uninfected recipients. Sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) is a pangenotypic DAA without clinically significant interactions with immunosuppressants, but its concomitant use with amiodarone may cause serious bradycardia. In an open-label study of 20 heart and lung transplant recipients of organs from HCV viremic donors, who received SOF/VEL for 12 weeks starting on post-operative day one, the concomitant use of amiodarone and SOF/VEL resulted in bradycardic episodes and commonly occurred in the presence of beta-blocking medications. Episodes of bradycardia were transient, resolved with intervention, and did not require the discontinuation of SOF/VEL. In patients requiring the combination of SOF/VEL and amiodarone, consideration of therapeutic options is warranted prior to the addition of other bradycardia-inducing medications.
