Recent Advances in the Epidemiology, Screening, and Management of Hepatitis C Virus Infection in Pregnancy.
Article in Gastroenterology & hepatology, 2026. 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
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) affects an estimated 58 million people worldwide, with rising rates among women of reproductive age. This trend has important implications in pregnancy, as HCV infection can lead to adverse maternal outcomes, mother-to-child transmission, and adverse neonatal outcomes. The perinatal period is a critical time both to identify cases of HCV infection and to initiate treatment, as patients have greater access to care during this time. There has been a guideline shift from risk-based screening for HCV in pregnancy to a universal screening approach. Additionally, several clinical trials are evaluating the use of direct-acting antiviral therapy in pregnancy, with preliminary results demonstrating safety and efficacy. This article discusses the epidemiology of HCV and its implications on pregnancy outcomes, as well as the most recent guidelines on screening and treatment.
