Hepatitis C-Everything a Primary Care Physician Needs to Know About Diagnosis, Management, and Follow-Up.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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) infection is a major public health concern, with more than 58 million people chronically infected worldwide. The management of HCV, once the domain of specialists only, has been revolutionized by the advent of direct-acting antiviral therapies. To reduce the burden of HCV in the United States (US), emphasis is now being placed on the involvement of primary care physicians in the management of HCV patients. Inclusion of more primary care providers in the HCV diagnosis and treatment initiatives can assist in achieving the goal of HCV elimination, especially in the medically underserved areas. To actively engage in the management of HCV, primary care providers must understand its epidemiology, risk factors, natural history, current treatment regimen, and potential complications. This manuscript reviews these key areas, along with presenting the cost-effectiveness of treatment and evidence-based guidelines for follow-up care in adults with chronic HCV infection who have undergone HCV treatment. Equipped with this foundational knowledge about HCV management, primary care physicians can play a vital role in eliminating HCV.
