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
purposeThe mechanism of methylation of HPV CpG sites in the occurrence and prognosis of cervical carcinogenesis remains unclear. We investigated the effects of demethylation of the CpG sites of E2 and E6, essential genes of HPV16 integration, on cervical cancer cell expression, integration, and proliferation. MATERIALS AND
methodsHPV16-positive (Caski) cells were treated with different concentrations of the demethylation compound 5-aza-dc (0, 5, 10, 20 μmol/l) in vitro. After the intervention, the methylation statuses of HPV16 E2 and E6 were detected by TBS, the expression levels of E2 and E6 mRNA and protein were detected by real-time PCR and western blot, cell proliferation activity was detected by CCK8, and cell cycle and apoptosis were determined by FCM. GraphPad Prism version 8.4.2 and R version 4.2.3 were used for relevant data analyses.
resultsThe methylation levels of HPV16 E2 and E6 CpG sites decreased gradually with increasing 5-aza-dc intervention concentrations. With decreasing E2 and E6 methylation rates, E2 expression increased, the E2/E6 ratio increased, E6 expression decreased, and the growth inhibition rate of Caski cells increased. E2 and E6 expression were negatively and positively correlated with their degrees of methylation respectively, while the E2/E6 mRNA to protein ratio was negatively correlated with the methylation degrees of E2 and E6.
conclusionDemethylation can be used as a prospective treatment to affect HPV expression and persistent infection, providing a new theoretical basis for the clinical treatment of viral infections.
