Detection, quantitation, and genotyping of human papillomavirus circulating tumor DNA by droplet digital PCR.
Article in Journal of clinical microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is comprised of >200 genotypes and has an ~8 kb, circular, double-stranded DNA genome. Transmission of HPV occurs through skin-to-skin contact and infection of squamous epithelial cells of cutaneous and mucosal surfaces. HPV genotypes are categorized as low- or high-risk (hrHPV) based on oncogenic potential. There are approximately 14 types of hrHPV that can cause several types of cancer, including HPV-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPV(+)OPSCC). Detection of HPV(+)OPSCC is traditionally accomplished using p16 immunohistochemistry (IHC) and HPV-specific testing, either DNA or RNA IMPORTANCE: At least 14 genotypes of human papillomavirus (HPV) have been identified to have high oncogenic potential. While molecular diagnostic testing for HPV is widely available for liquid cytologic cervical samples, testing is limited for other sample types, including liquid biopsy samples, such as platelet-poor plasma (PPP). With the rising incidence of HPV-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPV(+)OPSCC), laboratory testing is an essential part of patient diagnosis, management, and surveillance. Here, we summarize the development and analytical performance validation of a multiplexed, droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) assay for the detection and quantitation of HPV circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in PPP. This assay may provide clinicians with a tool to address minimal residual disease for patients with an HPV-associated cancer.
