Prevalence and risk factors for neutralizing antibodies to human papillomavirus types 16 and 18 in HIV-positive men who have sex with men.

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
objectiveHuman papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination is routinely recommended in HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) aged ≤ 26 years. Levels of previous HPV exposure in older HIV-positive MSM are assumed to be too high to warrant routine HPV vaccination. However, little is known about the prevalence of and risk factors for neutralizing antibody seropositivity to HPV-16 or HPV-18, a key measure of previous exposure to these types.
methodsCross-sectional analysis of baseline visit for 296 HIV-positive MSM participating in a prospective cohort study of anal squamous intraepithelial lesions at a university-based research clinic. Participants completed a questionnaire detailing behaviors and medical history. Phlebotomy, anal cytology, HPV DNA testing with quantitation, and high-resolution anoscopy with biopsy were performed. A pseudovirion-based neutralizing antibody assay was used to measure HPV-16 and HPV-18 neutralizing antibodies.
resultsOne hundred thirty-two of 296 (45%) men were HPV-16 seropositive and 141 of 296 (48%) were HPV-18 seropositive. One hundred seventy-five of 296 (59%) of the men were positive for HPV-16 antibodies or DNA and 167 of 296 (56%) were positive for HPV-18 antibodies or DNA. In multivariable analysis, HPV-16 seropositivity did not correlate with age, years of HIV positivity, CD4 level, or HIV viral load. Significant risk factors included HPV-16 DNA positivity with higher DNA levels (ptrend < 0.001) and higher number of receptive sexual partners in the last year (ptrend = 0.012).
conclusionsA high proportion of HIV-positive MSM aged >26 years are DNA negative and seronegative to HPV-16 and HPV-18 even when using a sensitive pseudovirion-based neutralizing antibody assay. Prospective studies are needed to determine the clinical- and cost-effectiveness of HPV vaccination in HIV-positive MSM aged >26 years.
