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.
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: Stigma associated with high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection presents a significant barrier to both the uptake of cancer screening and the completion of follow-up care after a positive screening result. Identifying the factors that contribute to this stigma is essential for healthcare professionals to design targeted interventions aimed at reducing stigma and improving patient engagement across the continuum of care. Objectives: This exploratory study aimed of this study is to explore the current situation of stigma in HR-HPV patients and its influencing factors. Method: A cross-sectional study was performed from May to October 2023. Two hundred female patients with HR-HPV infection were recruited from the Department of Gynecology at the General Hospital of Northern. Demographic parameters, disease-related variables, psychosocial factors, psychological resilience, and rumination data were obtained by self-reported questionnaires. Results: Of the 200 patients, 37 (18.5%) indicated a low degree of stigma, 152 (76.0%) indicated a moderate level, and 11 (5.5%) indicated a high level. Stigma scores exhibited a positive correlation with rumination scores and a negative correlation with psychological resilience scores. Monthly personal income, recurring infections, psychological resilience, and rumination were recognized as independent variables affecting stigma. This exploratory study revealed that psychological resilience and rumination collectively explained 23.4% of the variance in stigma. Conclusion: Personal monthly income, recurring infections, psychological resilience, and rumination were influential factors contributing to stigma in HR-HPV patients. Subsequent research should prioritize the development and integration of interventions aimed at eliminating stigma.
