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

The distribution of human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes shows inconsistencies across countries, ethnicities, and socioeconomic levels. An in-depth identification of HPV infection rates and genotypes across regions, ethnicities, and age groups in large populations is crucial. We aimed to assess the prevalence of HPV infections among Korean women and investigate the prevalence of multi-type infections among HPV types. To identify HPV types, 16,669 specimens were subjected to DNA extraction and real-time polymerase chain reactions. The HPV infection rate was 36.7%, with single- and multi-type HPV infection rates of 21.4% and 15.3%, respectively. The prevalence of HPV infection was higher among women in their 20s and 60s. HPV types 16 and 18 were most commonly multi-type infected with HPV type 52. In conclusion, promoting HPV awareness and prevention strategies and incentivizing vaccination can boost vaccination rates among eligible individuals.
