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
backgroundThe epidemiology of high-risk (hr) human papillomavirus (HPV) infections in mid-adult women with new sex partners is undefined.
methodsWe analyzed baseline data from 518 25- to 65-year-old women online daters. Women were mailed questionnaires and kits for self-collecting vaginal specimens for polymerase chain reaction-based hrHPV testing. Risk factors for infection were identified using Poisson regression models to obtain prevalence ratios (PRs).
resultsThe prevalence of hrHPV infection was 35.9%. In multivariate analysis restricted to sexually active women, the likelihood of hrHPV infection was associated with abnormal Papanicolaou test history (PR = 1.42, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.10-1.84), lifetime number of sex partners >14 (compared with 1-4; PR = 2.13, 95% CI: 1.13-4.02 for 15-24 partners; and PR = 1.91, 95% CI: 1.00-3.64 for ≥25 partners), male partners with ≥1 concurrent partnership (PR = 1.34, 95% CI: 1.05-1.71), and male partners whom the subject met online (PR = 1.39, 95% CI: 1.08-1.79). Age was inversely associated with infection only in women who were sexually inactive (PR = 0.67 per 5-year age difference, adjusted for Papanicolaou history and lifetime number of partners). Compared with sexually inactive women, the likelihood of infection increased with increasing risk level (from low-risk to hr partners; P < 0.0001 by trend test). In multivariate analysis, infection with multiple versus single hrHPV types was inversely associated with ever having been pregnant (PR = 0.64, 95% CI: 0.46-0.90) and recent consistent condom use (PR = 0.56, 95% CI: 0.32-0.97), and positively associated with genital wart history (PR = 1.43, 95% CI: 1.03-1.99).
conclusionsMeasures of both cumulative and recent sexual history were associated with prevalent hrHPV infection in this hr cohort of mid-adult women.
