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

Expression of Ki-67 and P16 proteins in cervical cancer and precancerous lesions of young women and the diagnostic value for cervical cancer and precancerous lesions were investigated. A total of 64 paraffin-embedded specimens of uterus tissue from young female patients who were admitted to Jiading District Central Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Medicine and Health Sciences from January 2015 to December 2017 were selected. According to pathological examination, the specimens were divided into chronic cervicitis group (control group, 10 cases), low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) group (12 cases), high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) group (20 cases) and squamous carcinoma of the cervix (SCC) group (22 cases). Expression of Ki-67 and P16 protein was detected by immunohistochemistry and the diagnostic values were analyzed. Positive rates of Ki-67 and P16 expression in HSIL and SCC groups were significantly higher than those in LSIL and control groups (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between LSIL and control groups (P>0.05). Spearman's analysis showed that the expression levels of Ki-67 and P16 were positively correlated with the degree of cervical lesions (rs=0.725; rs=0.829), and their expression levels were also positively correlated (rs=0.772). Sensitivity and specificity analysis showed that the Ki-67 diagnosis has higher sensitivity (95.2%), but the specificity is poor (86.7%). Diagnosis using P16 has high specificity (94.6%), but the sensitivity is poor (85.4%). When the two were combined for diagnosis, sensitivity (94.8%) and specificity (93.2%) were both at a high level. The combined detection of Ki-67 and P16 protein has a high application prospect as an auxiliary diagnosis of SCC.
