Determination of HPV prevalence in oral/oropharyngeal mucosa samples in a rural district of São Paulo.
Article in Brazilian journal of otorhinolaryngology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
unlabelledKnowledge about HPV infection in the oral cavity/oropharynx may contribute to the elucidation of the role it plays in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC).
objectiveTo determine the effectiveness of the methodology used for sampling the oral cavity and oropharynx mucosae and to determine the prevalence of HPV in the oral cavity and oropharynx of adults and children.
methodThe study population was served by an assistance program in a rural district of São Paulo. The subjects were asked to donate samples regardless of complaints. RESULTS AND
conclusionThe study included 47 men, 77 women and 22 children, of which the oral cavity samples were obtained by gargling with commercially-available antiseptic mouthwash. We found 3 positive samples (2.4%) in adults: 2 HPV 55 and one HPV 58. No positive results were found in children. Furthermore we concluded that the sampling method with the mouthwash proved effective and fast for the detection of HPV in the oral cavity and oropharynx in the general population.
