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

Human papillomavirus (HPV) related oral cancers are increasing and are associated with sexual risk behaviours. An increase in the incidence of oral cancer has been observed in South-central Asian countries. The objective was to systematically review the evidence on the association of HPV and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) among adults living in South-central Asia. We searched multiple databases and reference lists of relevant articles in December 2018. Quality assessment of the selected articles were done using the Newcastle-Ottawa quality assessment scale. Thirteen out of 150 articles met the eligibility criteria. Most studies were from India (10/13) followed by Pakistan (2/13) and Bangladesh (1/13). Half (7/13) of the studies found a positive association between HPV with OSCC. HPV 16, HPV 18 and HPV 16/18 were found to be the most common types implicated in HPV infection associated with OSCC. Moreover, buccal mucosa was the most common site of oral cancer. The review found equivocal evidence in relation to the association of HPV with oral squamous cell carcinoma among people living in South Asia.
