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

In 2012, VALidation of human papillomavirus (HPV) GENotyping Tests (VALGENT) was initiated to provide a formalized and uniform study framework for comparison and validation of HPV assays with genotyping capability. In VALGENT-3, the clinical and analytical performance of Anyplex II HPV HR detection (Anyplex) was compared to that of the Hybrid Capture 2 HPV DNA test (hc2) and the cobas 4800 HPV test (cobas). The panel comprises 1,300 stored samples that were obtained from women 25 to 64 years old who participated in the Slovenian cancer screening program, enriched with 300 samples from women with abnormal cervical cytology. The sensitivity and specificity of Anyplex were noninferior to those of hc2, with a relative sensitivity of 1.01 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.97 to 1.04) for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or worse (CIN2+) and 1.01 (95% CI, 0.97 to 1.06) for CIN3+ and relative specificity of 1.02 (95% CI, 1.00 to 1.03) for a CIN grade of ≤1. The clinical sensitivity of Anyplex for CIN2+ and CIN3+ was comparable to that of hc2 (
