Infection and Persistent Infection of Human Papillomavirus Among HIV-Negative Men Who Have Sex with Men in Xinjiang, China: A Prospective Cohort Study.

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
Anal HPV infection is particularly prevalent among men who have sex with men (MSM). The purpose of this study was to understand the status and influencing factors of HPV infection in MSM in Urumqi, Xinjiang, in order to provide suggestions for policy formulation. A prospective cohort study was conducted among HIV-negative MSM in Urumqi Xinjiang between April 2016 and June 2023. 824 MSM were recruited. Data were collected anal swab results from self-administered questionnaires and laboratory tests. A Cox regression model was employed to analyze factors associated with HPV infection. The prevalence rates of high-risk HPV and low-risk HPV were 37.99% and 25.97%. Receptive anal intercourse is a well-established risk factor for both incident and persistent HPV infections among MSM. For new high-risk HPV infections, the adjusted hazard ratio is 1.55 (95% CI: 1.28-1.89), and for persistent high-risk HPV infections, the aHR is 1.95 (95% CI: 1.48-2.57). Similarly, for low-risk HPV, receptive anal intercourse increases the risk of incidence (aHR = 1.34, 95% CI: 1.07-1.67) and persistent infection (aHR = 1.64, 95% CI: 1.18-2.29). Seeking sexual partners in bathhouses raised the risk of low-risk HPV infections (aHR = 1.36, 95% CI: 1.05-1.76). Young MSM may face a higher risk of HPV infection. Implementing targeted HPV vaccination catch-up programs for the MSM population in Urumqi could offer significant societal benefits.
