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

Multiple high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) infections in young women are poorly characterized across age and cytology, particularly with partial genotyping. We assessed multiple hrHPV infections among HPV-positive women aged 18-25 years with NILM, ASC-US, or LSIL; the secondary objective was hrHPV positivity among electively tested women with NILM. This retrospective cross-sectional study analyzed 2024 laboratory data from northern Slovakia. Of 7613 unique women, 7574 met cytological eligibility criteria; 804 underwent cobas 4800 testing, and 295 were hrHPV-positive. Multiple infection, defined as concurrent detection of at least two reportable categories (HPV16, HPV18, or other hrHPV), occurred in 69/295 women (23.4%; 95% CI, 18.9-28.5%). No statistically detectable variation was observed by cytology after age adjustment (
