Safety of tenofovir alafenamide in the context of hyperlipidemia and cardiovascular diseases: a nationwide analysis.
Article in Hepatology international, 2025. 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
backgroundDespite numerous small-scale studies, the correlation between tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF) and hyperlipidemia remains still limited. This study aims to evaluate the safety of TAF regarding hyperlipidemia and cardiovascular diseases using a nationwide cohort.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of claims data from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service, comparing incidence rates of hyperlipidemia and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) using 1:1 propensity score matching between TAF and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) users.
resultsThe incidence of hyperlipidemia among TAF users was 21.38 per 1000 person-years, compared to 10.04 among TDF users. The incidence rate ratio (IRR) was 2.13 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.92-2.36), indicating a significantly higher incidence in TAF users compared to TDF users (p < 0.001). After adjusting for other factors, Cox regression analysis showed that TAF was significantly associated with hyperlipidemia compared to TDF (hazard ratio [HR] 1.99, 95% CI 1.79-2.20, p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the incidence of MACE between TDF and TAF users (2.19 per 1,000 person-years for TDF and 2.25 per 1,000 person-years for TAF, IRR 1.02, 95% CI 0.79-1.33, p = 0.853), with Cox regression analysis showing no disparity between the groups (HR 1.03, 95% CI 0.78-1.36, p = 0.829).
conclusionsTAF is associated with a higher incidence of hyperlipidemia than TDF. While the incidence of MACE in the TAF group has not shown a significant increase compared to the TDF group, further investigation into long-term outcomes is warranted. Lipid monitoring in TAF and TDF patients is essential for managing risks and reducing cardiovascular complications.
