Human Papillomavirus Correlates With Histologic Anal High-Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesions in Hispanics With HIV.
Article in Journal of lower genital tract disease, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
objectiveTo estimate the magnitude of association between anal infection with high-risk human papilloma virus (HR-HPV) types and severity of biopsy-confirmed histopathological anal squamous intraepithelial lesions (SILs) among a clinic-based sample of HIV-infected adults in Puerto Rico.
methodsThis cross-sectional study analyzed data from medical records of adult patients who visited a specialized anal neoplasia clinic from June 2015 to December 2017 (n = 239); sociodemographics, behavioral risk factors, medical history, clinical data, and pathology reports were collected. The magnitude of association between anal HR-HPV and severity of anal SIL, adjusted for potential confounders, was assessed using a multinomial logistic model.
resultsA 78.7% of patients had anal HR-HPV infection, 43.9% had histopathological low-grade SIL (LSIL), and 37.7% had histopathological high-grade SIL (HSIL). The prevalence of anal HR-HPV infection was 63.6% among patients with no anal SIL, 70.5% for those with LSIL and 95.6% for those with HSIL. After adjusting for different predictors, patients with anal HR-HPV infection were more likely to have HSIL (odds ratio, 11.0; 95% confidence interval, 3.2-37.2) than those without anal HR-HPV infection, whereas no significant excess was observed for LSIL (odds ratio, 1.4; 95% confidence interval, 0.6-3.1).
conclusionsThis study showed a strong association between anal HR-HPV infection and HSIL. Likewise, a high prevalence of anal HR-HPV infection and presence of anal SIL was observed among HIV-infected individuals. Our result highlights the importance of screening for anal HR-HPV infection and anal SIL and optimizing strategies for HPV vaccination in HIV-infected individuals.
