1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe goal of treatment of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) coinfection is suppression of both viruses; yet incomplete HBV suppression on tenofovir (TFV) disoproxil fumarate (TDF)-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) is common. This study investigated TFV resistance-associated mutations (RAMs) in individuals with HBV/HIV coinfection with viremia on TDF/lamivudine (3TC)-containing ART.

methodsSamples from individuals with HBV DNA levels ≥20 IU/mL in a cross-sectional study of 138 persons with HBV/HIV coinfection in Ghana were analyzed in the present study. HBV was sequenced for RAM analysis. TFV-diphosphate (TFV-DP) concentration in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was used to assess ART adherence level.

resultsNine of 138 participants (6.5 %) had detectable HBV DNA levels ≥20 IU/mL while on ART. Seven of the nine participants had TFV-DP concentrations commensurate with 7 doses per week, and six had suppressed HIV RNA. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that eight sequences were HBV genotype E, with one genotype E/A recombinant. Ten previously-reported TFV RAMs were present in the study samples; eight were wild-type for HBV genotype E. The non-genotype-E-wild-type point mutations M267L and K333Q were found in two and one patients, respectively. No 3TC RAMs were found.

conclusionHBV viremia despite high adherence to TDF/3TC-based ART may be associated with the presence of TFV RAMs. These findings highlight the need for enhanced resistance monitoring and further research to examine the clinical significance of reported TFV RAMs. Individuals with HBV/HIV coinfection and TFV resistance on TDF-based ART may need alternative treatment strategies.
