The Association Between Human Papillomavirus Type 16 E6 Seroprevalence and Degrees of Anal Disease Among Men With HIV: A Nested Case Control Study.

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
IntroductionHuman papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) E6 antibodies may be an early biomarker of anal cancer. We cross-sectionally evaluated when in the course of anal disease, HPV16 antibodies are induced.MethodsA nested case-control study of 846 men who have sex with men (MSM) was conducted within a prospective study of men with and without HIV. Cases of anal HPV16 (N=262), biopsy-confirmed high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL;N=140), and anal cancer (N=21) were individually matched to controls (N=423) on HIV status, study-participation duration, and age. Serum samples closest to diagnosis underwent HPV serologic testing; prediagnostic serial samples were tested for anal cancers only. Conditional logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).ResultsHPV16 E6 seroprevalence was non-significantly elevated in anal disease: OR:1.6 (95%CI:0.7-3.6) for HPV16 infection; OR:1.4 (95%CI:0.5-3.8) for HSIL; and OR:1.5 (95%CI:0.3-9.0) for anal cancer. HPV16 E6 seroprevalence was dramatically lower among men with versus without HIV with the same disease stage: 1.5% vs. 11.2% (
