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
Introduction: Satisfaction and knowledge among patients with HIV after switching from tenofovir to tenofovir/alafenamide remain unexplored. Given that both parameters are associated with better health outcomes it is relevant to measure them in patients during routine clinical practice. Objective: To evaluate the degree of knowledge and satisfaction in patients who had their antiretroviral regimen switched from rilpivirine (RPV)/emtricitabine (FTC)/TDF to RPV/FTC/TAF. Materials and methods: We conducted a prospective study in a third-level hospital between September, 2018, and November, 2018. We included patients who had previously been treated with RPV/FTC/TDF and collected their RPV/FTC/TAF treatment in the second visit. A 5-point Likert-type agreement/disagreement scale was used to assess satisfaction and knowledge regarding the medication switch. Results: We included 116 patients in the study of whom 75% were satisfied and 64% had a high-level of knowledge. Young patients were less satisfied with the way in which the change was explained (p=0.0487). Concerning the new medication, the patients were better informed about its renal (85% of them) and bone benefits (82%) than about its adverse effects on the lipid profile (40%). Conclusions: The patients were generally satisfied with the change in medication and well nformed about the dosage and advantages of TAF over TDF, but less well informed about the possible adverse effects of TAF.
