Meta-analysis of the correlation between vaginal microenvironment and HPV infection.
Review in American journal of translational research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeTo study the correlation between the vaginal microenvironment and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection by meta-analysis.
methodsDatabases including the Chinese Journal Full-text Database, China Science and Technology Journal, Wanfang, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science were used to comprehensively retrieve published clinical studies on the correlation between the vaginal microenvironment and HPV infection. The retrieval was performed according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, then qualified clinical studies were included for quality evaluation and data extraction. Revman 5.3 software was used for meta-analysis. The correlation between the vaginal microenvironment and HPV infection was assessed. The statistical results were shown by forest plots. Publication bias was tested by funnel plot.
resultsTen independent studies were included in this study, involving 11,649 patients. The meta-analysis results showed that compared with the HPV-negative group, the HPV-positive group had a significant increase in the aerobic vaginitis (OR = 1.73, 95% CI: 1.19-2.50,
conclusionThe vaginal microenvironment is closely related to HPV infection, especially aerobic vaginitis, bacterial vaginosis and trichomonal vaginitis are high-risk factors for HPV infection.
