Risk of dyslipidemia in chronic hepatitis B patients taking tenofovir alafenamide: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Hepatology international, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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 aim of this study was to demonstrate how tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) and other hepatitis B treatment drugs differentially impact lipid profiles in chronic hepatitis B patients.
methodsWe searched PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library to identify studies on the changes in cholesterol level in hepatitis B patients who underwent TAF therapy. The changes in lipid profiles (e.g., HDL-c, LDL-c, total cholesterol [TC], and triglyceride [TG]) were compared between the TAF treatment group and the baseline, other nucleoside analogs (NAs), and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)-only treatment groups. In addition, risk factors for worsening cholesterol level when treated with TAF were examined.
resultsTwelve studies involving 6,127 patients were selected. After 6 months of TAF treatment, LDL-c, TC, and TG were increased by 5.69 mg/dL, 7.89 mg/dL, and 9.25 mg/dL, respectively, from the baseline level. In particular, with the treatment of TAF, levels of LDL, TC, and TG rose by 8.71 mg/dL, 18.34 mg/dL, and 13.68 mg/dL, respectively, showing a greater deterioration of cholesterol when the TAF treatment was implemented compared to other NAs (e.g., TDF or entecavir). When TAF was compared to TDF, LDL-c, TC, and TG worsened with a mean difference of 14.52 mg/dL, 23.72 mg/dL, and 14.25 mg/dL, respectively. As a result of a meta-regression analysis, risk factors for worsening lipid profiles were found to be treatment-experienced, previous diabetes, and hypertension.
conclusionsTAF continues to worsen lipid profiles including LDL-c, TC, and TG after 6 months of use compared to the other NAs.
