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

Human papillomavirus (HPV) usually infects the anogenital and the oropharyngeal areas. HPV may lead to cancer at these sites, most notably at the uterine cervix. Less frequently, vaginal, vulvar, anal and penile cancers may also arise. HPV may be also found, sometimes, in other cancers, such as lung, breast, bladder, esophageal cancers and others, which are not typical sites for HPV-related cancers. HPV spreads easily throughout the body and it has an intrinsic carcinogenic potential, which it may operate on organs which are distant from the genital area, although with a limited incidence of disease. It has been debated whether such occurrence has a casual or causative significance. In this systematic review we summarize the evidence and the pitfalls of these uncommon HPV-positive cancers, with particular emphasis on HPV genotypes distribution.
