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

aimTo investigate the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) in adenoid cystic carcinoma of the uterine cervix.

methodsEleven archival, paraffin wax embedded specimens were analysed by non-isotopic in situ hybridisation (NISH) for HPV types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, and 33 using digoxigenin labelled probes. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was carried out on each of the cases using consensus primers to HPV.

resultsA total of eight adenoid cystic carcinomas harboured the HPV genome by NISH, of which five were PCR positive. Integrated HPV 16 DNA was demonstrated in seven of the eight NISH positive cases. One adenoid cystic carcinoma showed integrated HPV 31. HPV DNA was not detected in the three remaining cases.

conclusionsIntegrated high risk HPV genome, in particular type 16, is associated with this uncommon type of primary cervical cancer.
