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

backgroundHuman papillomavirus (HPV) is the major causative agent of genital warts and various anogenital cancers. In Vietnam, limited data exists on HPV genotype prevalence and distribution. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and distribution of HPV types among patients with genital warts in Can Tho City and to explore their associations with demographic and clinical characteristics.

methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted at Can Tho Dermatology Hospital with 109 patients diagnosed with genital warts. HPV genotyping was performed using real-time PCR and reverse dot blot hybridization to detect both the low- and high-risk HPV types. Associations between HPV types and variables such as age, sex, and lesion site were analyzed statistically.

resultsHPV was detected in 89% of the patients. The low-risk types HPV11 (50.5%) and HPV6 (47.4%) were the most common. The high-risk types, HPV51 (30.9%) and HPV52 (20.6%), were frequent, especially in females (83.6% vs. 63.3% in males, p = 0.030). Co-infections occurred in 71.6% of females and 60% of males. Lesion location correlated with HPV type distribution.

conclusionsThe high prevalence of both low- and high-risk HPV types highlights the need for enhanced vaccination coverage and continued HPV surveillance. These findings provide critical data for developing HPV prevention strategies in Vietnam.
