Distinct Lipidomic Profiles between People Living with HIV Treated with E/C/F/TAF or B/F/TAF: An Open-Label Prospective Cohort Study.
Article in Infectious diseases and therapy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06019273 (Impacts of Different ART Regimens on Lipid Metabolism in People Living With Human Immunodeficiency Virus), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 papers.
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

Abstract
introductionElvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (E/C/F/TAF) has been increasingly replaced by bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) in the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) owing to its more favorable pharmacokinetics and fewer drug-drug interactions. However, the effect of this switch on plasma lipids and lipidomic profiles remains poorly characterized.
methodsHIV infected patients on an E/C/F/TAF regimen were recruited into the study and followed up every 12 weeks. Participants were divided into E/C/F/TAF and B/F/TAF groups depending on whether they were switched to B/F/TAF during follow-up. Clinical information and blood samples were collected at 0, 12, and 24 weeks, and lipidomic analysis was performed using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry.
resultsNo significant differences were observed between the groups at baseline. At week 24, patients switched to B/F/TAF had lower triglyceride [mmol/L; 1.23 (0.62) versus 2.03 (0.75), P = 0.001] and very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [mmol/L; 0.64 (0.26) versus 0.84 (0.32), P = 0.037) compared with patients who continued E/C/F/TAF therapy. Small decrease from baseline in Framingham general cardiovascular risk score (FRS) was observed in the B/F/TAF arm [week (W) 0: 2.59 (1.57) versus W24: 2.18 (1.01), P = 0.043]. Lipidomic analysis indicated that E/C/F/TAF treatment increased the levels of several diglycerides (DGs), triacylglycerols (TAGs), and lyso-phosphatidylcholines (LPCs), whereas switching to B/F/TAF led to increased sphingolipids and glycerophospholipids. After adjusting for demographic and clinical parameters, only DG (16:0/18:2), DG (18:2/22:6), DG (18:3/18:2), DG (20:5/18:2), TAG (18:3/18:2/21:5), TAG (20:5/18:2/22:6), and LPC (22:6) were found to be significantly associated with FRS (regression coefficient of 0.17-6.02, P < 0.05). Most of these FRS associate lipid species were significantly elevated in individuals treated with E/C/F/TAF instead of individuals treated with B/F/TAF.
conclusionE/C/F/TAF promotes the accumulation of lipid species closely associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk among people living with HIV, whereas B/F/TAF has a decreased impact on CVD-related lipid profile and is associated with lower CVD risk.
