HPV vaccination among seropositive, DNA negative cohorts: a systematic review & meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Journal of gynecologic oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveVaccine efficacy among previously exposed, but currently uninfected women, i.e., those who have serological evidence of a prior human papillomavirus (HPV) infection without corresponding detectable HPV DNA, remains incompletely defined. This meta-analysis assessed the serotype-specific efficacy of prophylactic HPV vaccination against HPV16/18 persistent infection (PI) and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) among seropositive, DNA negative (SPDN) women enrolled to randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of HPV L1-based vaccines.
methodsSearches were conducted on 08/16/20 on MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus and CENTRAL. RCTs of L1-based prophylactic bivalent or quadrivalent HPV vaccines, reporting serotype-specific clinical efficacy endpoints in the HPV16/18 seropositive, DNA-negative populations were included. Relative risks (RRs) of 6-month PI (6mPI), 12-month PI (12mPI), CIN1+ and CIN2+ were pooled using a random-effects model.
resultsA total of 1,727 citations were reviewed. 8 studies, with a total of 9,569 SPDN participants, met all eligibility criteria. The RR of 6mPI (RR=0.22; 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.08-0.61; p=0.018), 12mPI (RR=0.20; 95% CI=0.05-0.80; p=0.035), CIN1+ (RR=0.13; 95% CI=0.05-0.30; p=0.003) and CIN2+ (RR=0.15; 95% CI=0.04-0.59; p=0.022) was significantly reduced in the vaccinated compared to the unvaccinated group.
conclusionOur findings suggest high serotype-specific efficacy for HPV vaccination among cohorts of women with evidence of prior HPV16/18 infections, including 87% efficacy (95% CI=70%-95%; p=0.003) against HPV16/18 cervical dysplasia. HPV vaccination is highly effective among uninfected women, regardless of prior exposure history.
