Tenofovir-Associated Kidney Dysfunction and Bone Fracture: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
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
Tenofovir is an integral part of antiretroviral therapy used to treat HIV. Long-term use of tenofovir has been associated with decreased glomerular filtration rate, leading to chronic kidney disease, as well as acidosis, electrolyte imbalances, and tubular dysfunction. Tenofovir can also disrupt bone health by decreasing renal phosphate absorption, contributing to osteomalacia. This leads to disruption in mineral metabolism, elevated parathyroid hormone levels, and ultimately, low bone mineral density. Replacing tenofovir with alternative antiretroviral therapy can improve kidney function if done early in the course of the disease. Here, we discuss a case of a 65-year-old woman with HIV who presented with advanced renal failure and hypophosphatemia-induced bone fracture attributed to long-term use of tenofovir. We conclude monitoring kidney function and considering alternative antiretroviral therapy is important to prevent and manage these side effects in patients on long-term tenofovir therapy.
