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

objectiveTo describe the natural history of low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion/cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade I (LSIL/CIN1), and to analyze the predictive values of p16INK4a and Ki-67 for LSIL/CIN1 progression.

methodsFrom January 2013 to January 2016, 264 patients were diagnosed with CIN1 by colposcopy-assisted biopsy and were followed up at 1-year intervals at Peking University People's Hospital. We measured expression levels of biomarkers p16INK4a and Ki67 to predict progression, persistence, or regression of the disease. We used chi-square tests and logistic regression analysis to explore the relationships among LSIL/CIN1 progression, p16INK4a/Ki-67 expression, and patient age.

resultsAmong 264 patients with LSIL/CIN1, p16INK4a, Ki-67 expression and patient age > 30 years old were significantly associated with progression. Univariate analysis showed that age was not a risk factor for progression (P > 0.05) but that p16INK4a and Ki-67 expression were significantly associated with the progression (P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that p16INK4a-positivity and high expression of Ki-67 protein were associated with LSIL/CIN1 progression, with odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of 10.95 (3.04-39.53), and 9.7 (2.77-34.03), respectively.

conclusionp16INK4a-positivity and high expression of Ki-67correlated with LSIL/CIN1 progression. These markers may be independent predictors of LSIL/CIN1 progression.
