Rationale, design, and methodology of a randomized controlled trial evaluating the impact of peer-enhanced care coordination on linkage to HCV care among formerly incarcerated individuals.
Article in Contemporary clinical trials, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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
backgroundHepatitis C Virus (HCV) disproportionately affects criminal legal-involved individuals (CLI), yet low treatment availability and high turnover in U.S. jails limits the number of individuals treated while incarcerated. HCV care coordination upon release is also an unmet need requiring improved models of care. This study will assess the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a peer-enhanced HCV care coordination intervention among individuals leaving jail. METHODS/
designWe aim to enroll 80 current or formerly incarcerated CLI with current HCV infection. Participants will be 1:1 randomized to the enhanced linkage and retention intervention (HCV-ACCELERATE) intervention or advanced standard of care (SOC) coordination. HCV-ACCELERATE participants will receive peer mentorship to support community reentry, HCV treatment and other ancillary needs such as mental health or substance use disorder treatment, as well as scheduling and accompaniment to their first community-based HCV appointment. SOC participants will receive a community resource flyer to schedule their first community-based HCV appointment. Participants will complete five research visits over six months and medical records will be reviewed. The primary outcome will be linkage to HCV care after release. Secondary outcomes include HCV treatment initiation and completion, sustained virologic response, and HCV re-infection. DISCUSSION: The evaluation of this intervention will be critical in understanding the feasibility of a peer-enhanced care coordination intervention among CLI to promote linkage to and retention in the HCV care continuum. Moreover, the methodology discussed here can serve as a template for future programs and studies regarding treatment provision and outcomes among CLI with HCV.
