Alcohol consumption and oral human papillomavirus infection among men living with HIV: a cross-sectional study from the ULACNet 201 trial.
Trial report in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04255849 (Nine-valent HPV Vaccine to Prevent Persistent Oral HPV Infection in Men Living With HIV), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
Alcohol consumption is recognized as a risk factor for oropharyngeal cancer. However, its role in oral human papillomavirus (HPV) infection among people living with HIV (PLWH) remains unclear. This cross-sectional study analyzed baseline data from 699 men living with HIV (MLWH) enrolled in the multicenter ULACNet-201 trial (NCT04255849) to assess oral HPV infection by drinking behavior, examine the association between alcohol consumption and HPV infection, exploring smoking as a potential effect modifier. Oral gargle specimens were tested for high-risk (HR-HPV) and low-risk (LR-HPV) HPV genotypes using SPF10 PCR-DEIA-LiPA25. Logistic regression estimated adjusted odds ratios (ORs, 95% CIs) controlling for key covariates and explored heterogeneity by smoking status. Alcohol use in the past month was reported by 76.4% of participants, with 6% classified as heavy drinkers and 27% as binge drinkers. Oral HPV infection was similar between drinkers and nondrinkers (27.7% vs. 28.5%), with comparable rates for HR-HPV (11% vs. 10.9%) and LR-HPV (18.7% vs. 19.7%). Alcohol consumption was not associated with HR-HPV overall, and exploratory analysis found no evidence of effect modification by smoking status. A possible interaction between alcohol consumption and smoking status was observed for LR-HPV, but these findings should be interpreted cautiously. Further longitudinal studies are needed.
