1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Animal studies indicated that human papillomavirus (HPV) transgenic mice develop cataract. Viral infections have been proposed as a potential contributing factor of cataract. This study aimed to examine the association between HPV infection and the risk of developing cataract. We enrolled 224,203 individuals diagnosed with HPV infection between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2018, from the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan. Propensity-score matching at a 1:1 ratio was conducted to obtain an HPV cohort and a matched non-HPV cohort. We used a Cox proportional hazards regression model to estimate the hazard ratio and 95% confidence interval. The adjusted hazard ratio for developing cataract was 1.36 (95% confidence interval, 1.32-1.39; Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13337-024-00907-5.
