HPV16/HPV58 viral load is non-linearly correlated with cervical lesions and can be used as a triage marker.

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
The significance of viral load from high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) in the detection of cervical lesions is still debated. This study aims to assess the correlation between the viral load of the most common high-risk genotypes (HPV16, HPV18, HPV52, HPV53, HPV58, and HPV68) and cervical lesions in South China, and to ascertain the role of specific HPV viral load types as potential diagnostic biomarkers for cervical lesions. The study included 1787 patients, with HPV types and viral load measured by fluorescent PCR method. The relationship between viral load and cervical lesions was analyzed through both linear and non-linear methods. Viral loads of HPV 16/18/52/58 are risk factors for the occurrence of cervical lesions, Notably, HPV16 and HPV58 respectively demonstrated a non-linear association with the emergence of CIN1 + and CIN2 + cervical lesions, indicating that HPV viral load may serve as a stratification marker for recognizing heightened risk of cervical lesions, thus enhancing risk stratification in cervical cancer screening.
