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
backgroundAlthough the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations in inverted sinonasal papilloma (ISP) has been investigated, the association between HPV infection and EGFR mutations remains controversial. The meta-analysis aimed to investigate the association between HPV infection and EGFR mutations in ISP.
methodsThe PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched (until 22 February 2025) to collect all relevant articles. The pooled proportion of co-occurrence proportion with 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated using the inverse-variance model. In addition, subgroup analysis, assessment of publication bias, and sensitivity analyses were performed.
resultsSix eligible articles, including 210 patients with ISP, were included in this study. The pooled HPV + rate was 11%(95%CI = 5%-17%), and the pooled EGFR mutations rate was 66%(95%CI = 44%-87%) in ISP. Besides, the pooled HPV + rate was 31%(95%CI = 15%-48%), and the pooled EGFR mutations rate was 52%(95%CI = 30%-73%) in ISP-SNSCC. We calculated a pooled proportion of 0.235(95%CI = 0.025-0.446, P = 0.058). The association between HPV infection and EGFR mutations remained stable in subgroup analyses.
conclusionsWe found that HPV infection and EGFR mutations seem to play opposite roles in ISP malignant transformation. HPV infection is a possible etiology of ISP and is also associated with its malignant transformation. EGFR mutations in ISP demonstrate prognostic significance with EGFR wild-type ISP being associated with earlier progression to SNSCC. Our meta-analysis demonstrates that there is not mutually exclusive between HPV infection and EGFR mutations in ISP. The result suggests that both HPV infection and EGFR mutations should be considered in the management of ISP.
