Phylogenetics and selective pressure analysis of human papillomavirus types 31 and 33 variants in Eastern China.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesThe aim of this study is to identify the distribution of HPV31 and HPV33 lineages and sublineages, characterize their genetic variability, explore associations between cervical lesions, persistent/multiple infections, and HPV31/33 genetic variations, and estimate selective pressures and divergence times for both genotypes.
methodsIn this study, a total of 94 samples were collected, with 276 full-length gene sequences obtained for analysis. Phylogenetic analysis evaluating genetic variant diversity was performed using MEGA software. Correlation analyses were conducted using SPSS 20.0. Selective pressure and divergence time estimations were performed using the Datamonkey web server and BEAST v1.8.3, respectively.
resultsLineage A, B, and C variants were identified in 26.1%, 4.3%, and 69.6% of the HPV31 isolates, respectively, whereas all the HPV33 variants belonged to lineage A. We detected 108 nucleotide variations in HPV31 and 126 in HPV33. For HPV33, the nonsynonymous mutation A862T (Q97L) in the E7 gene was significantly correlated with cervical lesions (χ
conclusionOur study revealed two substitutions-A862T (Q97L) and G7064A (S491S)-associated with cervical lesions, along with eleven sites under positive selection. This work provides new insights into the clinical characteristics of HPV31/33 genetic variations and offers novel perspectives for developing next-generation vaccines in Eastern China.
