Risk factors for human papillomavirus infection prevalent among Uyghur women from Xinjiang, China.
Article in Oncotarget, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
We investigated the incidence of HPV and risk factors for infection among rural Uyghur women in the Xinjiang province of northwestern China, where there is a high incidence of cervical cancer. We used the careHPV kit to test 6000 sexually active Uyghur women aged 21 to 60 years for HPV, and conducted a comprehensive questionnaire survey to identify relevant HPV infection factors. Our data show the HPV infection rate to be 8.42%, which is lower than 11.7% reported worldwide, despite the higher cervical cancer incidence. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that Uyghur women that had (a) poor personal hygiene and care; (b) no previous gynecological examination; (c) a higher education level; (d) unprotected sex and inadequate personal hygiene; (e) used their fingers for vaginal cleaning (f) smoking husbands and (j) used sanitary napkins or toilet paper during menstruation or used clod as the bathroom wipe material were at greater risk for HPV infection. This suggests that proper interventions that improve personal hygiene, including not using ones fingers for vaginal cleaning, use of condoms, regular gynecological exams and a reduction in smoking by spouses could lower the cervical cancer risk by lowering HPV infection rates. In addition, increasing awareness among more educated women regarding HPV and implementation of effective interventions could reduce the risk of HPV infection in Uyghur women.
