In Vitro and In Vivo Renoprotective Effects of Telbivudine in Chronic Hepatitis B Patients Receiving Nucleotide Analogue.
Article in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03778567 (The Effect of Telbivudine on Renal Function in Chronic Hepatitis B Patients With Mild to Moderate Renal Impairment), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

Abstract
aimRenal toxicity of adefovir disoproxil (ADV) and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is a significant concern in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. Early observational clinical data suggested that telbivudine (LdT) might have renoprotective effects.
methodsIn this prospective study, consecutive CHB patients on combined lamivudine (LAM) + ADV/TDF were switched to LdT + ADV/TDF at recruitment and were followed up for 24 months. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated with the modification of diet in renal disease equation. The effects of LdT on cell viability and expression of kidney injury or apoptotic biomarkers were investigated in cultured renal tubular epithelial cell line HK-2.
resultsThirty-one patients (median age 55 years, 90.3% male) were recruited (54.8% TDF: 45.2% ADV). Serum HBV DNA was undetectable at all time points. Median eGFR was 70.2 (IQR 62.6-77.9) and 81.5 (IQR 63.6-99.1) mL/min/1.73 m
conclusionsClinical and in vitro data suggest that LdT has renoprotective effects in patients on long-term ADV/TDF treatment. LdT may be considered as an adjuvant therapy in this special group of patients with renal impairment (NCT03778567).
