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

introductionHuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and human papillomavirus (HPV) have a strong association with one another, including the development of HPV-related neoplasms. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends routine HPV vaccination in persons aged 9-26, and consideration can be made to vaccinate up to age 45 based on provider discretion. This study aimed to look at the rate of HPV vaccination in adult HIV-positive patients. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis was a retrospective study looking at 71 current patients of an HIV clinic at Hackensack University Health. The entire clinic patient list was included. Exclusion criteria were anyone under age 18. Chart review and calls to the patient's pharmacy were done to record the patient's HPV vaccination history. From there, the number of patients eligible to receive the HPV vaccine was calculated based on routine schedule as well as increasing the eligible age up to 44.

resultsOnly three patients had a history of receiving the HPV vaccine (4.23%). Using the routine vaccination schedule, there were five patients eligible to receive the HPV vaccine (7%). When using the extended vaccination schedule up to age 44, there were a total of 35 patients eligible to receive the HPV vaccine (49.30%).

conclusionThere are a substantial number of HIV-positive patients who would benefit from HPV vaccination. This is especially true if the provider chooses to use the extended vaccination schedule. Providers working with HIV-positive patients should probe about vaccination history and intervene as appropriate.
