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

introductionThis study aimed to evaluate the safety and the effectiveness of B/F/TAF in patients living with HIV-1 treated in real-world settings in the Republic of Korea (ROK).

methodsThis prospective, multicenter, observational study aimed to enroll all patients initiating B/F/TAF at 45 sites between July 2019 and November 2023. Safety was assessed up to 48 weeks post-treatment initiation. HIV-1 RNA and CD4 + T-cell were recorded at baseline, and then at approximately 48 weeks (i.e., between 36 and 64 weeks) post-treatment initiation.

resultsOf the 2844 patients enrolled, 2761 were analyzed (mean age 44 ± 14 years; 93.48% male; 81.53% treatment-experienced). Adverse events were reported in 37.16% of patients, adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in 5.40%, serious adverse events in 3.48%, and serious adverse drug reactions in 0.04%. No fatal ADRs were reported. Viral suppression rates (HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL) were 97.83% for treatment-experienced patients, 93.84% for treatment-naïve, and 97.19% overall. CD4⁺ T-cell counts increased in both groups.

conclusionIn this large real-world cohort, B/F/TAF demonstrated a favorable safety profile and high effectiveness, consistent with prior studies. No new safety concerns were identified.
