1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background and Aims: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection are among the leading causes of chronic liver diseases worldwide. Through the same transmission routes, HBV/HCV coinfection is widespread and aggravates liver damage. In this study, we aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) and the pre-treatment of tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF) on HBV reactivation in HBV/HCV coinfected patients. Methods: A multicenter, prospective, single-arm, open-label 12-week trial, followed by a 12/48-week observational clinical trial, was conducted. Ninety-six adults with chronic HBV/HCV coinfection were enrolled from May 2021 to December 2024 in thirteen centers in China. Seventy-seven non-cirrhotic patients were included in Group 1 and nineteen compensated cirrhotic patients in Group 2. All subjects were enrolled to receive SOF/VEL once daily for 12 weeks. Non-cirrhotic subjects received TAF once daily for 28 weeks, and compensated cirrhotic subjects received TAF once daily for 64 weeks simultaneously. Statistical significance was set at Results: At the end of SOF/VEL treatment, the overall sustained virologic response was 97.9%, of which 100% was achieved in Group 2. HCV RNA, HBV DNA, and HBV RNA levels were substantially decreased in all patients. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (61.5 vs. 21.9, Conclusions: SOF/VEL effectively achieves a sustained virologic response and improves liver function, with an acceptable safety profile in chronic HBV/HCV coinfected patients, including those with compensated cirrhosis, who achieved modest improvement in non-invasive fibrosis indices. Pre-administration of TAF may mitigates the risk of HBV reactivation in this population.
