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

backgroundTenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is relatively safe, although renal toxicity has been reported. In Nigeria, there is insufficient data on renal toxicity among patients on TDF. This study assesses TDF-associated tubular dysfunction among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients at a hospital in Nigeria.

methodsIn this cohort study, 104 adult HIV patients were recruited with a simple random technique from the outpatient clinic. Biochemical indices of renal function were estimated from serum and urine at the 16th and 24th week after an initial assessment at baseline.

resultsThere were no significant differences in baseline proteinuria or glycosuria between TDF and non-TDF groups. Mean baseline urine and serum parameters did not differ significantly between the two groups (

conclusionIndicators of tubular dysfunction were markedly higher among patients on the TDF-based treatment regimen. Biomarkers of tubular dysfunction could be useful for detecting pre-symptomatic nephrotoxicity before marked reduction of glomerular filtration rate in HIV patients on TDF.
