Pitavastatin effect on enterocyte injury markers in an antiretroviral therapy-treated HIV population.
Trial report in AIDS (London, England), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo determine whether pitavastatin reduces enterocyte injury, assessed by intestinal fatty acid-binding protein (I-FABP), among antiretroviral therapy-treated people with HIV (PWH) enrolled in the REPRIEVE mechanistic substudy.
designRandomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
methodsWe analyzed fasting plasma I-FABP at entry and month 24 among participants randomized to pitavastatin 4 mg daily or placebo. Baseline characteristics were summarized across I-FABP quartiles. Associations between entry I-FABP and inflammatory and immune activation biomarkers were assessed using Spearman correlations. Longitudinal changes were evaluated using intention-to-treat and per-protocol analyses and generalized estimating equation models.
resultsAmong 710 participants with entry I-FABP measurements (median age 50 years; 18.5% women; 98% with undetectable viral load), median I-FABP levels were 2690 (Q1-Q3: 1888-3770) (pg/ml). Entry I-FABP correlated modestly with markers of systemic inflammation and monocyte activation, including GDF-15 and soluble CD14 + . Over 24 months, I-FABP levels declined similarly in the pitavastatin and placebo arms, with no significant differences in absolute or fold change.
conclusionIn this well treated HIV cohort, higher baseline I-FABP levels were associated with increased inflammatory markers at study entry. However, pitavastatin did not reduce I-FABP over follow-up. These findings suggest that the cardiovascular benefit of pitavastatin in REPRIEVE is unlikely to be mediated through reductions in enterocyte injury, although gut-barrier effects of other statins cannot be excluded.
