Anal HR-HPV prevalence assessed with the cobas
Article in Porto biomedical journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundAnal squamous cell cancer is an HPV associated disease, highly prevalent in HIV-infected men who have sex with men (MSM). We evaluate the prevalence of HPV infection in an HIV-positive MSM population attending our hospital. Cytological results are correlated with an HR-HPV genotype.
methodsFrom February 2013 to July 2014, 95 anal Thin Prep cytologies and 17 histological specimens were evaluated in 89 HIV-infected MSM. HPV detection (cobas
resultsThe mean age was 37 years. Cytological results: 40% - NILM, 17.9% - ASCUS, 24.2% - LSIL, 4.2% - HSIL and 1.1% - AGC. The overall prevalence of HR-HPV was of 80.8%. In 76.9% of the cases, infection occurred with multiple HR-HPV genotypes. The "other" HR-HPV pattern was the most prevalent HR-HPV genotype. Considering age, HPV-16 prevalence was 50.0% and 28.6% in patients under and over 30 years, respectively. A histological specimen was obtained from 17 patients and 82.4% of them had AIN.
conclusion1 - HIV-infected MSM is a highly HR-HPV genotype infected population; 2 - The multiple infection pattern was the most prevalent; 3 - "Other", an HPV subtype was the most prevalent pattern; 4 - The prevalence of HPV infection and multiplicity of infection was directly related to the severity of the cytological abnormalities and age; 5 - HPV-16 prevalence was more prevalent in patients under 30 years.
