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.

Abstract
backgroundEntecavir and tenofovir-disoproxil-fumarate are first-line nucleos(t)ide analogs (NA) for treatment of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections; however, their long-term administration can impact extrahepatic organs. Herein, we sought to examine the effect of NA on lipid metabolism while also characterizing the associated mechanism.
methodsA retrospective study was performed on HBV patients administered entecavir or tenofovir-disoproxil-fumarate. Patient clinical information, as well as their preserved serum samples obtained at baseline and 6-12 months after treatment initiation, were analyzed. A 1:1 propensity score matching was applied to the assignment of tenofovir-disoproxil-fumarate or entecavir treatment. Changes in serum cholesterol, including oxidized-LDL, were analyzed. Subsequently, in vitro analysis elucidated the mechanism associated with the effect of NAs on lipid metabolism.
resultsAdministration of tenofovir-disoproxil-fumarate, not entecavir, to chronic HBV patients, decreased serum cholesterol levels, including non-HDL and oxidized-LDL, which are strongly associated with arteriosclerosis. In vitro analysis revealed that tenofovir-disoproxil-fumarate reduced supernatant cholesterol, and upregulated the scavenger receptor, CD36, in hepatocytes. Meanwhile, silencing of hepatic CD36 increased supernatant cholesterol and negated the cholesterol-reducing effect of tenofovir-disoproxil-fumarate in HepG2-cells. Reporter, microarray, and RT-PCR analyses further revealed that tenofovir-disoproxil-fumarate treatment activates PPAR-α-mediated signaling, and upregulates PPAR-α target genes, including CPT1 and CD36. Alternatively, silencing of PPAR-α reversed the effects of tenofovir-disoproxil-fumarate on CD36.
conclusionsTenofovir-disoproxil-fumarate modulates lipid metabolism by upregulating hepatic CD36 via PPAR-α activation. Since dyslipidemia could be associated with arteriosclerosis and hepatocarcinogenesis, these discoveries provide novel insights into anti-HBV therapies, as well as the associated extrahepatic effects of NA.
