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

Human papilloma virus (HPV) has been found to be a precursor and risk factor for both cervical and anal dysplasia. Cervical dysplasia, which is the precursor to carcinoma, is associated with immunosuppression from a variety of causes; reports of anal dysplasia associated with immune suppression exist as well. A recent study published in abstract form only demonstrated that women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) had high rates of cervical dysplasia and that those on immune suppressants had even higher rates of dysplasia. We report a case of a 50-year-old woman with refractory ulcerative colitis chronically treated with 6-mercaptopurine that developed severe squamous dysplasia of the rectum. The dysplastic mucosa was found to be positive for p16 (associated with high-risk HPV) after immunostaining. A total colectomy was performed. This case highlights the importance of immune suppression in the development of dysplasia of the anus/cervix secondary to HPV infection.
