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

objectiveTenofovir disoproxil fumarate is a commonly used antiretroviral drug, but risk factors for tenofovir (TFV)-associated kidney disease are not fully understood. We used intensive pharmacokinetic studies in a cohort of HIV-infected women on TFV-based therapy to study the relationship between TFV exposure and subsequent kidney function.

designThis is a nested study within the Women's Interagency HIV Study, a multicenter, prospective cohort of HIV-infected women. Participants on TFV-based therapy underwent 24-h intensive pharmacokinetic sampling after witnessed dose. Kidney function was measured over the succeeding 7 years by serum creatinine [estimated glomerular filtration rate calculated by serum creatinine (eGFRcr)].

methodsMultivariable linear mixed models evaluated the relationship of baseline TFV area under the-time concentration curves (AUCs) with subsequent changes in kidney function. Covariates included age, diabetes, hypertension, race, BMI, ritonavir use, duration of TFV exposure, current CD4 cell count, and HIV viral load.

resultsOf the 105 participants, persons within the highest baseline TFV AUC tertile had significantly lower eGFRcr compared with those in the lowest tertile (mean ± standard error: 80 ± 4.3 vs. 104 ± 2.5 ml/min per 1.73 m, P < 0.0001). By year 7, this difference widened (72 ± 4.9 vs. 105 ± 2.9, P < 0.0001). After multivariable adjustment, TFV AUC in the highest tertile remained associated with lower eGFRcr relative to values in the lowest tertile at both baseline (-15 ml/min per 1.73 m, P = 0.0047) and year 7 (-23 ml/min per 1.73 m, P = 0.0002).

conclusionThrough intensive TFV pharmacokinetic sampling, we found a strong association between greater TFV exposure and subsequent decline in kidney function. Variations in TFV drug exposure may partially account for subsequent nephrotoxicity in persons infected with HIV.
