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

The human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are a diverse group of infectious agents, some of which are a causative agent of human cancers. Cervical cancer and oral cancer are closely associated with specific types of HPV, and the tumors grow only if there is continual expression of the viral E6 and E7 genes. Evidence from in vitro studies shows that when expression of these genes is inhibited by gene therapy approaches such as antisense RNA, ribozymes, or siRNA, the transformed phenotype of the cells is lost. Although it seems possible that clinical applications of this approach could help in the management of cervical and oral cancers there have been no clinical trials of gene therapy for HPV-associated cancers. Since the basic information is now available, a shift to translational research would be greatly welcomed.
