Hepatitis C Co-infection Among Pregnant Women With Syphilis in West Virginia, 2019-2023.

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
Syphilis and hepatitis C virus (HCV) rates have increased among women of childbearing age. Given the potential for vertical transmission of both infections, we examined syphilis and HCV co-infection among pregnant women in West Virginia (2019-2023). Public health surveillance data for syphilis and HCV were cross-referenced to identify co-infections. Of the 161 pregnant women with syphilis, 42.9% had a past or present HCV infection. Compared with those without HCV, a greater proportion of women with past or present HCV self-reported incarceration (21.7% vs 5.4%) and drug use (50.7% vs 15.2%) during the past year. Notably, women with past or present HCV had lower adherence to syphilis treatment (56.5% vs 84.8%) and a higher frequency of reported congenital syphilis outcomes (59.4% vs 28.3%). Findings support the need for integrated care approaches to address overlapping infections and associated social vulnerabilities.
