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 HPV is the most frequent sexually transmitted disease (STD) worldwide. There is no obligation to officially register HPV infections in Germany and thus the epidemiology of condylomata acuminata (CA) is not well characterized.

objectivesTo provide a better understanding of the epidemiology of CA and outline the treatment options that are available to patients with this disease.

methodsData of 1124 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of CA, presenting in our university hospital outpatient consultation between 2011 and 2015 were retrospectively evaluated and the efficacy of various types of treatments was addressed.

resultsA large patient cohort of 1124 predominately young (mean age 36.5 years old), male (83.9 %), single (50.2 %), heterosexual (92.8 %) Germans (62.5 %) received consults in our outpatient clinic for STDs. Nearly 60 % of the diagnosed patients presented with first-time CA, indicating a considerable proportion of roughly 40 % recurrent infections as well. Only 13.7 % of patients were previously immunized against HPV.

conclusionsThe evaluation of a large patient cohort provided a better understanding of the present epidemiology of CA in an outpatient hospital setting in Germany. An effective three-scale therapeutic regime and preventive measures were outlined.
