HPV-driven cancer: from epidemiology to the HPV-driven tumor board proposal, everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask.

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
backgroundHuman papilloma virus (HPV)-related cancers are well-known clinical entities in different body sites. Cervix, anus, and oropharynx are the most common tumors related to the virus infection. The aim of this work was to highlight similarities and differences among HPV-related cancers of different subsites.
methodsThe narrative review was focused on the following topics: (1) epidemiology, (2) prognostic factors, (3) treatment approaches, (4) radiomic analysis, (5) radiosensitivity, (6) de-escalation strategies. Common aspects as well as differences have been highlighted for cervical, anal and oropharyngeal HPV-related tumors.
resultsCommon prognosticators in terms of patients characteristics (anemia, smoking habits), tumor histology (lymph node extracapsular extension) biological features (high circuating HPV DNA), blood cell immunomodulating response (high level of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and high neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio) as good parameters of radiosensitivity (radiosensitivity index RSI, and genomic adjusted radiation dose GARD) have been found among the analyzed tumor subsites. On the contrary, other aspects like treatment approaches (different RT techniques and doses), radiomic analysis and de-intensification strategies were found to be different among tumors.
conclusionHPV-related tumors have several common prognostic and predictive features that do not translate into common therapeutic approaches and de-intensification strategies. A better understanding of which factors are associated with a high risk of early recurrence or favourble clinical outcomes could help in guiding clinical assessment and screening activities and might improve efforts for precision medicine.
