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

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a necessary cause of cervical cancer and cervical dysplasia. Accurate and sensitive genotyping of multiple oncogenic HPVs is essential for a multitude of both clinical and research uses. We developed a modified general primer (MGP) PCR system with five forward and five reverse consensus primers. The MGP system was compared to the classical HPV general primer system GP5+/6+ using a proficiency panel with HPV plasmid dilutions as well as cervical samples from 592 women with low-grade cytological abnormalities. The reference method (GP5+/6+) had the desirable high sensitivity (five copies/PCR) for five oncogenic HPV types (HPV type 16 [HPV-16], HPV-18, HPV-56, HPV-59, and HPV-66). The MGP system was able to detect all 14 oncogenic HPV types at five copies/PCR. In the clinical samples, the MGP system detected a significantly higher proportion of women with more than two concomitant HPV infections than did the GP5+/6+ system (102/592 women compared to 42/592 women). MGP detected a significantly greater number of infections with HPV-16, -18, -31, -33, -35, -39, -42, -43, -45, -51, -52, -56, -58, and -70 than did GP5+/6+. In summary, the MGP system primers allow a more sensitive amplification of most of the HPV types that are established as oncogenic and had an improved ability to detect multiple concomitant HPV infections.
