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

purposeIf not eliminated by the immune system and persisting over years, oropharyngeal high-risk HPV infection can lead to cancer development in the oropharynx. HPV infection is very commonly found in the genital region and can serve as an HPV reservoir. In this study, we investigate whether women with a genital HPV infection are at a higher risk of harboring an undetected oropharyngeal HPV infection via genital-oropharyngeal transmission.

methodsWomen presenting for routine gynecological checkups were included in this study. All participants received an HPV brush test from the genital region as well as from the oropharynx. Additionally, probable risk factors for an HPV infection were assessed in a structured questionnaire.

results142 women were included in this study. The rate of oropharyngeal HPV infection was low with 2/142 (1,4%) women positive for a low-risk HPV genotype. In the genital brush test, 54/142 (38%) women were tested HPV positive of which 41/142 (29%) were positive for a high-risk HPV genotype.

conclusionsThe rate of an oropharyngeal HPV detection in our population was low with 2/142 women harboring a low-risk HPV infection.
