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
Objective: Both B/F/TAF and DTG/3TC are recommended in treatment guidelines for switch therapy in PLWH. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and metabolic health consequences of two switched regimens in a real-world setting among virologically suppressed PLWH previously treated with EFV/TDF/3TC. Methods: This retrospective real-world study in Hangzhou included 220 virologically suppressed PLWH who switched from EFV/TDF/3TC to DTG/3TC or B/F/TAF between January 1, 2020 and October 30, 2023. All participants were examined the changes in weight, BMI, GLU levels, lipid parameters (TC, LDL-C, HDL-C, and TG), and eGFR at post-12-month. Results: The mean age of included participants was 50.8 years (SD: 11.3). After 12 months of switching, the HIV RNA level was below the limit of detection (< 20 copies/mL) among all participants. The switch to DTG/3TC or B/F/TAF therapy was associated with significant improvement in LDL-C, GLU levels, and eGFR values (all Conclusion: In this study, the B/F/TAF or DTG/3TC regimens are safe for virologically suppressed PLWH aged > 40 years. The transition to B/F/TAF demonstrated dual clinical benefits, significantly reducing hyperglycemia incidence while preserving renal function.
