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 quantification of human papilloma virus (HPV)-induced skin lesions is essential for the clinical assessment of the course of disease and the response to treatment. However, clinical assessments that measure dimensions of lesions using a caliper do not provide complete insight into three-dimensional (3D) lesions, and its inter-rater variability is often poor.

objectiveThe aim of this study was to validate a stereophotogrammetric 3D camera system for the quantification of HPV-induced lesions.

methodsThe camera system was validated for accuracy, precision and interoperator and inter-rater variability. Subsequently, 3D photographs were quantified and compared to caliper measurements for clinical validation by Bland-Altman modelling, based on data from 80 patients with cutaneous warts (CW), 24 with anogenital warts (AGW) patients and 12 with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions of the vulva (vulvar HSIL) with a total lesion count of 220 CW, 74 AGW and 31 vulvar HSIL.

resultsTechnical validation showed excellent accuracy [coefficients of variation (CV) ≤ 0.68%] and reproducibility (CVs ≤ 2%), a good to excellent agreement between operators (CVs ≤ 8.7%) and a good to excellent agreement between different raters for all three lesion types (ICCs ≥ 0.86). When comparing 3D with caliper measurements, excellent biases were found for diameter of AGW (long diameter 5%), good biases were found for diameter of AGW (short diameter 10%) and height of CW (8%), and acceptable biases were found for the diameter of CW (11%) and vulvar HSIL (short diameter 14%, long diameter 16%). An unfavourable difference between these methods (bias 25%) was found for the assessment of height of AGWs.

conclusionStereophotogrammetric 3D imaging is an accurate and reliable method for the clinical visualization and quantification of HPV-induced skin lesions.
