Screening of Anal HPV Precancerous Lesions: A Review after Last Recommendations.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Over the last decades, the incidence of anal cancer has increased worldwide. The discovery of the HPV virus as its primary cause and the natural progression of the disease, involving precancerous lesions, have resulted in significant interest in screening for anal cancer. The use of cytology testing, high-risk HPV DNA research, high-resolution anoscopy, and their combination has been adopted with variable success in detecting anal HPV precancerous lesions. Various studies have been carried out to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of these techniques in different populations. High-risk populations for developing anal cancer have been identified through study of incidence and prevalence. Therefore, different scientific societies and experts worldwide have provided different recommendations for screening, but a universal approach has not yet been established. The inhomogeneity of different risk groups, the variable accessibility to specifical techniques, and the lack of data regarding the cost-benefit ratio of screening are the main problems to address in order to define a consensus guideline acceptable worldwide. The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of the literature on HPV precancerous lesions and its screening, particularly after the release of recent recommendations.
