Changes in Components of Metabolic Syndrome after Antiviral Eradication in Hepatitis C Virus Infection.
Article in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Chronic hepatitis C infection is a systemic disease that affects over 71 million patients all over the world and it is to be considered nowadays as a new cardiometabolic risk factor. This study aimed to evaluate the weight and metabolic changes after viral eradication in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. We conducted a prospective study between October 2017 to December 2021, in a tertiary care center, in which we included 132 patients with HCV or cirrhosis. All patients received treatment with direct antivirals (DAAs) and achieved sustained viral response at 12 weeks (SVR12). During the study, clinical laboratory data and Fibroscan examinations were recorded in all patients. The study group was evaluated at the initiation of antiviral treatment, at SVR12, and within an average follow-up period of 6 months to 12 months after the previous evaluation. Evaluation at SVR12 and the data recorded in the post-SVR surveillance period show a further increase in BMI compared with baseline measurements with a statistically significant difference (27.11 ± 3.22 vs. 27.415 ± 3.03 vs. 28.04 ± 1.11 kg/m
