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

Epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV)-type human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA have been detected by PCR in squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) from both organ transplant recipients (OTR) and immunocompetent individuals. Their role in skin cancer remains unclear, and previous studies have not addressed whether the viruses are transcriptionally active. We have used in situ hybridization to investigate the transcriptional activity and DNA localization of HPV. EV-HPV gene transcripts were demonstrated in four of 11 (36%) OTR SCC, one of two (50%) IC SCC, and one of five (20%) OTR warts positive by PCR. Viral DNA co-localized with E2/E4 early region gene transcripts in the middle or upper epidermal layers. Non-EV cutaneous HPV gene transcripts were demonstrated in one of five (20%) OTR SCC and four of 10 (40%) OTR warts. In mixed infections transcripts for both types were detected in two of six (33%) cases. Our results provide evidence of EV-HPV gene expression in SCC; although only a proportion of tumors were positive, the similarly low transcriptional activity in warts suggests this is an underestimate. These observations, together with emerging epidemiological and functional data, provide further reason to focus on the contribution of EV-HPV types to the pathogenesis of cutaneous SCC.
