Prevalence and genotype distribution of cervical HPV among women living with and without HIV in selected health facilities in Limpopo province, South Africa.

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
Background: High-risk alpha human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are associated with cervical cancer (CC). Objectives: This study investigated the prevalence and genotype distribution of HPV among women living with and without HIV in Limpopo province, South Africa. Method: The prevalence of HPV was determined in 450 participants who self-reported to be living with HIV or not. Total DNA was extracted from cervical specimens and amplified through a double-nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) approach targeting a fragment of the Results: Human papillomavirus was detected in 32.7% of the study participants and was significantly higher at 52.21% ( Conclusion: A relatively high prevalence of HPV was detected in the cervical specimens from the study population. Women living with HIV were the most infected group. The data suggest that WLWH should be prioritised for HPV screening and vaccination. Contribution: This study contributes to the knowledge of HPV in Limpopo province, a region with scarce data on HPV epidemiology.
