Improvement in kidney function in patients with chronic hepatitis B and chronic kidney disease after switching to tenofovir alafenamide fumarate: a systematic review with single arm meta-analysis.

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
introductionTenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is effective in treating hepatitis B virus, (HBV) but has been associated with nephrotoxicity. In contrast, tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF) has emerged as a safer alternative, reducing kidney exposure while maintaining antiviral efficacy. This meta-analysis evaluates improvements in kidney function following the switch from TDF to TAF.
methodsOur study was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42024565358) and included 10 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving 1,179 patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We compared renal function before and after switching to TAF.
resultsSignificant improvements in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) were observed, indicating enhanced kidney function post-switch. The findings confirm that TAF has a superior renal safety profile compared to TDF, particularly in long-term treatments.
conclusionThe clinical relevance of TAF for HBV patients with CKD aligns with current guideline shifts favoring TAF. Despite limitations such as high heterogeneity, this study supports TAF as a safer management strategy for HBV patients with CKD, demonstrating improved kidney outcomes and reduced nephrotoxicity risks. These findings support its broader use in clinical practice and highlight the need for further research on long-term renal outcomes.
