The Follow-Up Necessity in Human Papilloma Virus-Positive vs. Human Papilloma Virus-Negative Oral Mucosal Lesions: A Retrospective Study.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Human papilloma virus (HPV) is known as the main cause of cervical cancer. Data also indicate its role in head-neck cancer, especially oropharyngeal cancer. The correlation between high-risk HPV and oral cancer is still controversial. HPV-related lesions of the oral cavity are frequent and, in most cases, benign. The primary aim of this study was to establish if there is a different follow-up necessity between HPV-positive compared to HPV-negative oral lesions. The secondary aim was to evaluate the recurrence of HPV-related lesions. All patients who underwent a surgical procedure of oral biopsy between 2018 and 2022, with ulterior histopathological examination and HPV typing, were examined. A total of 230 patients were included: 75 received traumatic fibroma as diagnosis, 131 HPV-related lesions, 9 proliferative verrucous leukoplakia, and 15 leukoplakia. The frequency and period of follow-up varied in relation to HPV positivity and diagnosis. This study confirms what has already been reported by other authors regarding the absence of recommendations of follow-up necessity in patients with oral mucosal lesions. However, the data demonstrate that there was a statistically significant difference in the sample analyzed regarding the follow-up of HPV-positive vs. HPV-negative patients. It also confirms the low recurrence frequency of HPV-related oral lesions.
