Human papillomavirus prevalence among men who have sex with men in China: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 2021.

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
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection among men who have sex with men (MSM) in China is underreported. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to clarify site-specific HPV prevalence among MSM in China. We searched both English and Chinese databases for all studies published before April 1, 2020, that reported HPV prevalence among MSM in China. Random-effects meta-analysis was used to calculate summary estimates. Thirty-four articles were eligible, where 32, 5, and 2 articles reported HPV prevalence at the anus, penis, and oral cavity, respectively. The estimated prevalence of anal HPV among MSM in China was 85.1% (HIV-positive), 53.6% (HIV-negative), and 59.2% (unknown HIV status), with HPV genotypes being predominated by HPV 6, 11, 16, 18, 52, and 58. Any HPV and high-risk (HR) HPV was more common in northern China, while low-risk HPV was more common in southern China. HPV prevalence increased with age among HIV-negative MSM, from 40.5% (aged < 20 years) to 57.2% (aged ≥ 40 years). High prevalence of any HPV (HIV+: 95.1%; HIV-: 97.7%) and multiple infections (HIV+: 75.9%; HIV-: 41.7%) was found in anogenital warts among MSM. HPV is common among MSM in China. MSM living with HIV and/or anogenital warts were at disproportionate risk for HR HPV. Younger MSM were found to have a lower HPV prevalence. HPV vaccines would have prevented the majority of infections if given before sex debut. HPV at anatomical sites other than the anus, incident HPV infection, and the cost-effectiveness of HPV vaccination in this population are worth further investigation.
