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

backgroundThe p16/Ki-67 immunocytochemistry has been used for more than five years in cervical cytology to detect transforming HPV infections. MATERIAL AND

methodsBased on findings in the study presented here and data in the literature, practically relevant indications for this test are to be determined. The clinical course of 1109 patients with varying primary cytology results and simultaneous immunocytochemistry is analyzed. Short-term observations considering currently present lesions and long-term follow-up evaluation aimed at the prognostic evaluation are studied separately and compared with the literature.

resultsThe p16/Ki-67 immunocytochemistry effectiveness is described by the relative risk (RR) for the positive endpoint CIN2+. For short-term observations (n = 409) a RR of 3.79 (CI 95% 2.15 to 6.67) and for long-term follow-up (n = 700) after an average 34.7 months a RR of 8.72 (CI 95% 5.77 to 13.17) was found. The highest RR of 6.32 (CI 95% 3.71 to 10.76) was determined for the group IIID1/LSIL, followed by 3.98 (95% CI 1.45 to 10.91) for the group III-p (ASC-H). DISCUSSION: Regardless of the study designs and significant differences of the resulting statistics in the literature, there is consensus concerning the significantly higher specificity and positive prediction of the p16/Ki-67 immunocytochemistry compared to cytology or HPV DNA test results. Therefore, p16/Ki-67 immunocytochemistry is useful in cases of persistent group IIID1/LSIL and equivocal cytological findings (group III-p/ASC-H). Especially in the former group, the frequency of colposcopic examinations can be reduced. In this respect, adding p16/Ki-67 immunochemistry likely improves patient management. However, an indication for treatment solely based upon a positive immunocytochemical finding is unjustified.
