Prevalence and distribution of human papillomavirus genotypes in women with abnormal cervical cytology in Ethiopia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
Background: Cervical cancer is the 4 Method: Primary studies with women with abnormal cervical cytology were systematically searched for in Medline, CINHAL, Google Scholar, African Journal Online, and the University of Antwerp repository from 19-30 May 2023. A weighted inverse-variance random effects model was used. Variations across the studies were checked using a forest plot, I Results: The pooled prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes with abnormal cervical cytology of a precancerous cervical lesion was 38.74% (95% CI: 27.56-49.93). The leading pooled prevalence estimates by subgroup analysis were 18% (95% CI: 13-26), 14% (95% CI: 111-16), and 66% (51-79) for women with retroviral infection (RVI), DNA genotyping with amplification, and central parts of Ethiopia respectively. There were 25 HPV variants identified by genotyping techniques with the five most prevalent HPV genotypes being HPV-16 and HPV-18 coexisting at 54%; HPV-16 alone at 29%; HPV-51 at 16%; HPV-52 at 13%; and HPV-31 and HPV-33 each contributing approximately 12%. Conclusion: The pooled prevalence of HPV genotypes was higher than in other countries. HPV-51, HPV-52, HPV-31, and HPV-33 are the most prevalent genotypes. Hence, the nonavalent vaccine type would be the one that includes all the most prevalent HPV genotypes, but HPV-51in Ethiopia. Additional data on similar DNA test techniques for comparisons with precancerous lesions and invasive cancer are needed. Cervical cancer prevention and control programs in Ethiopia should be aligned with the most prevalent genotypes.
