Prognostic impact of human papillomavirus infection on cervical dysplasia, cancer, and patient survival in Saudi Arabia: A 10-year retrospective analysis.
Article in Annals of Saudi medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundData on human papillomavirus (HPV) prevalence and survival rates among HPV-infected women are scarce in Saudi Arabia.
objectiveAssess the prevalence of HPV genotypes in cervical biopsy specimens and its effect on survival over a 10-year timeframe.
designRetrospective, cross-sectional. SETTINGS: Saudi referral hospital. PATIENTS AND
methodsCervical biopsy specimens were collected from women aged 23-95 years old who underwent HPV detection, HPV genotyping, p16
main outcome measuresSurvival rate of HPV-positive cervical cancer patients. SAMPLE SIZE: 315 cervical biopsy specimens.
resultsHPV was detected in 96 patients (30.4%): 37.3% had cervical cancer; 14.2% cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) III, 4.1% CIN II, and 17.0% CIN I. A significant association was found between HPV presence and cervical cancer (χ
conclusionThese findings suggest that implementing cervical and HPV screening programs may decrease cervical cancer rates and improve survival rates of women in Saudi Arabia. LIMITATION: Single center and small sample size. CONFLICT OF INTEREST: None.
