Article in Clinical pharmacology and therapeutics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05904470 (A Phase 2, Open-label Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Bemnifosbuvir), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.

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.

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.

Abstract

Bemnifosbuvir (BEM) and ruzasvir (RZR) are pan-genotypic HCV polymerase (NS5B) and NS5A inhibitors, respectively. In a single-arm study (NCT05904470), 215 treatment-naïve, adherent participants with chronic HCV (with or without cirrhosis) received BEM 550 mg QD plus RZR 180 mg QD for 8 weeks. We employed a multiscale mathematical model fitted to the HCV RNA and ALT dynamics to quantify the antiviral activity and evaluate the modes of action of BEM and RZR. We found that after treatment initiation, the viral load (VL) decreased in a triphasic manner, with a very rapid first phase lasting <12 h. The population estimate of the time to reach the LLOQ (VL ≤ 15 IU/mL) was 11 days for individuals in fibrosis stages F0-F3 and 15.6 days for those in F4, while the estimate of the time to reach a hypothetical cure boundary (VL ≤6.7 × 10
