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

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to describe the infection rate of human papillomavirus (HPV), its genotype distribution, and associated factors among high-risk males in Shanghai, China. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 1,205 participants were enrolled in this study from October 2015 to March 2017. Each individual signed an informed consent before agreeing to take part in this study; participants completed a questionnaire about associated factors related to HPV infection. The HPV GenoArray test kit was used to perform HPV genotyping and was also used in DNA amplification and HybriBio's proprietary flow-through hybridization technique. RESULTS The overall infection rate of HPV was 58.4%. HPV 11 (177, 14%) was the most common low-risk (LR) genotype and HPV 16 (78, 6.47%) was the top prevalent high-risk (HR) genotype among all the male patients. Additionally, multiple infections (387, 32.1%) was the most common type among all the infected cases, while single infection was only 317 cases (26.3%). Sexual preference, number of sex partners, sexual activity, and frequency of condom use were significantly associated with HR and LR infection. CONCLUSIONS The infection rate of HPV infection among high-risk males in Shanghai was very high.
