Shifting HPV-cancer burden: from cervical cancer to oropharyngeal cancer.
Article in Infectious agents and cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeThis study aims to explore the contrasting trends of decreasing cervical cancer (CC) rates among women and increasing oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) rates among men.
methodsThe analysis examines public health initiatives, including CC screening programs and HPV vaccination efforts, alongside the changing epidemiology of OPC.
resultsDeclines in CC incidence are attributed to improved screening and HPV vaccination. Conversely, OPC rates are rising among men, linked primarily to HPV infection and lack of established screening programs. Data indicate a higher OPC burden in men compared to CC in women in several countries.
conclusionAddressing the rising OPC trend requires a multifaceted approach, including gender-neutral HPV vaccination, the development of OPC screening methods, and increased public awareness. Sustained efforts in HPV-related cancer prevention are crucial to mitigate these opposing trends.
