Endocervical adenocarcinomas and HPV genotyping in an HIV endemic milieu - a retrospective study.
Article in BMC women's health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundCervical cancer is the most prevalent cancer in Mozambique, with endocervical adenocarcinoma accounting for approximately 5.5% of cases. Knowledge regarding the most prevalent HPV genotypes in endocervical adenocarcinoma is limited, within this setting. This study aimed to investigate human papillomavirus (HPV) prevalence and genotypes within a cohort of endocervical adenocarcinoma patients in the context of Mozambique's recently introduced vaccination programme, considering the country's HIV-endemic setting.
methodsForty consecutive cases of endocervical adenocarcinoma diagnosed at Maputo Central Hospital between 2017 and 2018, with limited clinical data available, were included. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) status was determined through serological data or in situ hybridisation on histopathological slides. HPV detection was performed using a multi-methodological approach, including Anyplex II, in-house polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and chromogenic and fluorescent in situ hybridisation techniques.
resultsAll 40 cases exhibited HPV-dependent morphology. Fourteen of the 40 patients were HIV-positive. No significant differences were observed between the two groups regarding age, stage, or histopathological type. hrHPV16, 18, or 45 were detected in all cases. Notably, multiple hrHPV infections were identified exclusively in HIV-negative cases (10/26, p = 0.0075), with hrHPV18/45 co-infection being the most common (n = 8).
conclusionsThese findings suggest that the newly implemented quadrivalent vaccination programme has the potential to prevent morbidity and mortality from endocervical adenocarcinoma, irrespective of HIV infection status, in Mozambique's HIV-endemic environment.
