Review in World journal of clinical oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a common sexually transmitted disease and a leading cause of cervical, other anogenital, and oropharyngeal cancers. Screening for precancerous lesions is an effective strategy for preventing HPV-related tumors. Although HPV vaccination has significantly reduced the incidence of cervical cancer, achieving universal coverage remains challenging because of cost barriers, particularly in economically disadvantaged regions. This review provides an update of HPV infection characteristics, screening methods, and strategies tailored to low-resource settings. We also discuss the global burden of HPV-related diseases, regional disparities in the implementation of screening, and future research directions. By examining the current challenges and opportunities, this review aims to inform policymakers and healthcare providers in designing effective, affordable, and scalable screening programs.
