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

backgroundAnogenital human papillomavirus (HPV) is common among men who have sex with men (MSM) and causes anal cancer. This study examined the determinants of initial anogenital HPV infection among teenage MSM.

methodsTwo hundred MSM aged 16 to 20 years were recruited via community and other sources. Men were tested for HPV DNA from the anus and penis.

resultsThe proportion of men with anal HPV of any type increased from 10.0% in men reporting no prior receptive anal sex to 47.3% in men reporting ≥ 4 receptive anal sex partners (P < .001).A similar pattern was also seen with HPV type 16 (P = .044). The proportion of men with penile HPV increased from 3.7% in men reporting no prior insertive anal sex to 14.8% in men reporting ≥ 4 insertive anal sex partners (P = .014). Overall, 39.0% (95% confidence interval (CI), 32.2%-46.1%) of men had at least 1 HPV type: 23.0% (95% CI, 17.4%-29.5%) had a vaccine-preventable type (6, 11, 16 or 18).

conclusionsEarly and high per partner transmission of HPV occurred between men soon after their first sexual experiences. HPV vaccination needs to commence early for maximal prevention of HPV among MSM.
