Selected comorbidities and the probability of ART switch in PWH with undetectable HIV-RNA: a retrospective analysis in Italy.
Article in The Journal of antimicrobial chemotherapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesTo estimate the incidence of comorbidities in persons with HIV (PWH) with a stable viral load (VL) of ≤50 copies/mL and evaluate the likelihood of treatment switch (TS) according to the new development of dyslipidaemia (DP), kidney disease and a weight change that determined overweight.
methodsWe carried out six case-control studies nested within the Icona Foundation Study cohort with the outcome of TS of the current regimen (due to intolerance/toxicity or simplification) and investigated the incident comorbidities. Conditional logistic regression models were employed.
resultsOverall, the median age of study participants was 45 years (IQR: 36-52), 19% were female, 48% were MSM and 17% were migrants. DP was confirmed to be the most frequent incident comorbidity [138 events; incidence rate (IR) = 28.4%; 95% CI: 22.7%-34%], followed by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) deterioration and BMI elevation. None of the studied factors was associated with the risk of TS because of simplification. TS because of toxicity was predicted by incident DP [adjusted OR (aOR) = 2.49, 95% CI: 1.19-5.19, P = 0.02] and by a decline in eGFR of >10 mL/min/1.73 m2 (aOR = 1.51, 95% CI: 0.98-2.32, P = 0.06). The association with DP was stronger in participants who were receiving a boosted PI-based regimen at baseline (aOR = 3.38, 95% CI: 1.11-10.30, P = 0.03). Therapy discontinuation because of toxicity/simplification has remained common in PWH with VL of ≤50 copies/mL in recent years.
conclusionsThe onset of DP and a decline in eGFR was associated with discontinuations due to toxicity. Interventions aiming to mitigate the risk of developing lipid abnormalities in PWH are likely to also reduce the number of ART changes, which can potentially affect future drug options.
