Advances in the Prevention of Cervical Cancer by Anti-Human Papillomavirus Agents.
Review in Cancer medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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 remains a major global health threat for women, primarily driven by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. While HPV vaccination serves as the cornerstone of prevention, disparities in vaccine accessibility persist across low-income countries. Secondary prevention through screening faces challenges in public engagement, often leading to late-stage diagnoses. Recent advancements in novel anti-HPV drugs offer expanded opportunities for cervical cancer management.
aimThis review examines emerging anti-HPV therapeutics to provide insights into innovative strategies for cervical cancer prevention and treatment.
methodsWe conducted a systematic analysis of published studies investigating anti-HPV agents, focusing on their molecular mechanisms and clinical efficacy in cervical cancer prevention. RESULTS &
conclusionsMultiple promising anti-HPV agents have been identified, including 3-hydroxyphthalic anhydride-modified bovine β-lactoglobulin (3HP-β-LG), carrageenan, defensins, and 25-hydroxycholesterol (25HC). These compounds exert antiviral effects through distinct mechanisms: 3HP-β-LG competitively inhibits viral attachment, carrageenan blocks HPV entry via heparan sulfate mimicry, defensins inhibit the dissociation of viral capsid, and 25HC activates cholesterol-mediated antiviral pathways. They have demonstrated strong inhibitory effects on HPV infection, making them novel therapeutic candidates for the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer.
