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

High-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are responsible for almost all cervical cancer cases and a growing number of oropharyngeal and anogenital cancers. The primary HPV oncoproteins, E6 and E7, act together to manipulate multiple cellular pathways that can ultimately result in malignant transformation. This includes the deregulation of several signalling pathways that regulate cell proliferation, cell cycle progression and cell survival. Although multiple functions of HPV E6 and E7 in driving oncogenesis are well known, recent studies have uncovered novel oncogenic functions of the HPV oncoproteins, including the manipulation of emerging mechanisms of cancer development, such as epigenetic modifications, cellular plasticity and genomic instability. This review explores current advances in understanding how the HPV oncoproteins interact with these cellular processes, highlighting potential therapeutic targets in HPV-associated cancers.
