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

Background and Aims: Diverse HPV 16 variants have been known to vary in geographic distribution and oncogenic potential. On this point, the nucleotide changes of the E6 gene were studied to find lineages of HPV 16 in normal, premalignant, and malignant stages of uterine cervical samples. Methods: In this study, 120 HPV 16-infected samples were investigated using PCR and sequencing. Results: In our samples, three lineages A, C, and D were found and lineage D was predominant (79.2%) followed by lineages A (20%) and C (0.8%). Concerning the association between histopathological stages and lineages, no statistically important differences were found. Conclusion: Our finding revealed that two lineages A and D were circulating, with the dominancy of lineage, in Tehran, Iran. This finding emphasizes the geographic diversity of distinct HPV 16 (sub)lineages is different in the world.
