Concomitant Sexually Transmitted Infections in Patients With Anal Warts: A Single-Center, Cross-Sectional Study in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Article in Health science reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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 and Aims: Human papillomavirus infections, with or without lesions, are strongly correlated with anal intercourse. Other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, may be transmitted via anal sex. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests are sensitive and specific for detecting both genital and non-genital infections. In this study, we aimed to determine the STI rate in genital and non-genital locations and its relationship with symptoms in patients with anal warts. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of patients with anal warts who visited the Ho Chi Minh City Hospital of Dermato-Venereology between October 2022 and November 2023. Patients were interviewed using questionnaires, and swabs from the anal, genital, and oral regions were tested using PCR. Statistical analysis was conducted using Results: Of the 200 patients with anal warts included in this study, 95.5% tested positive for at least one STI agent in the anorectum (72.5%), pharynx (58.5%), and genitalia (30.0%). Conclusion: The sexually transmitted coinfection rates in patients with anal warts were confirmed, but the symptomatic rates were not. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential. Thus, we propose that PCR tests should be performed in the anorectal, genital, and oral areas in patients with anal warts.
