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

Metabolic derangement is characteristic in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Aside from established liver injury, various extrahepatic metabolic disorders impact the natural history of the disease, clinical outcomes, and the efficacy of antiviral therapy. The presence of steatosis, recently redefined as metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), is a common feature in HCV-infected patients, induced by host and/or viral factors. Most chronic HCV-infected (CHC) patients have mild steatosis within the periportal region of the liver with an estimated prevalence of 40% to 86%. Indeed, this is higher than the 19% to 50% prevalence observed in patients with other chronic liver diseases such as chronic hepatitis B (CHB). The histological manifestations of HCV infection are frequently observed in genotype 3 (G-3), where relative to other genotypes, the prevalence and severity of steatosis is also increased. Steatosis may independently influence the treatment efficacy of either interferon-based or interferon-free antiviral regimens. This review aimed to provide updated evidence of the prevalence and risk factors behind HCV-associated steatosis, as well as explore the impact of steatosis on HCV-related outcomes.
