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

objectiveRecurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis (RRP) is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6 and 11, and afflicts children (Jo-RRP, Juvenile-onset RRP) and adults (Ao-RRP, adult-onset RRP). The study objective was to describe the disease burden of RRP from three patient-relevant perspectives: economic, clinical, and humanistic.

methodsA retrospective descriptive analysis of responses to questionnaires captured within a linked Coordination of Rare Diseases (CoRDS) and the Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis Foundation (RRPF) (CoRDS/RRPF) patient registries from May 1, 2019, to July 31, 2023 was performed. Categorical variables were summarized using counts and proportions and continuous variables were summarized using means (standard deviations) and medians (interquartile ranges).

resultsResponses from 122 participants, 55% (67/122) Jo-RRP and 45% (55/122) Ao-RRP, were included. Forty-one percent (41/99) traveled more than 100 miles round trip to receive specialty care, and 61% (52/85) spent > 5% of their family income to pay for care. RRP resulted in increased absences from school [94% (17/18) for participants aged < 22] and work [85.5% (65/76) for participants aged > 22]. Moreover, 64.9% (48/74) of respondents perceived that RRP negatively impacted their careers. Feelings of isolation (70%) and depression (45.1%) were common, but less than 25% of respondents reported seeking mental health assistance.

conclusionRRP leads to clinical, financial, and psychosocial burdens. Increased public awareness regarding HPV infection of the airway is needed, as this disease is preventable through HPV vaccination. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 5:
