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

purposeTo evaluate the performance of different high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) genotype models in triaging women with cytological diagnosis of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS). PATIENTS AND

methodsA total of 36,679 Chinese women who underwent cytology and HR-HPV genotyping assessments during cervical cancer screening were enrolled in this study. Women with cytology-proven ASCUS were referred for further screening by colposcopy and biopsy. The study endpoint was histological detection of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or worse (CIN2+) at any of the follow-up visits. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive values (PPVs), negative predictive values (NPVs), positive likelihood ratio (PLR) and negative likelihood ratio (NLR) of different HR-HPV genotype combination models were estimated.

resultsIn all, 1675 (4.9%) women were identified as having ASCUS, 1454 women underwent colposcopy and biopsy, and 6.0% (87/1454) women were identified as having CIN2+ lesions. Among those with ASCUS who were identified as having CIN2+, the HR-HPV infection rate was 97.7%, and the prevalence rates of HPV-16, -18, -31, -33, -35, -39, -45, -51, -52, -56, -58, -59, -66 and -68 were 48.3%, 8.0%, 6.9%, 4.6%, 1.1%, 2.3%, 3.4%, 3.4%, 26.4%, 1.1%, 17.2%, 2.3%, 0.0% and 0.0%, respectively. Compared to other HR-HPV-type combination models, the HPV16/18/31/33/52/58 model achieved a higher sensitivity [93.1 (87.8-98.4)], specificity [73.0 (70.7-75.4)], PPV [18.0 (14.5-21.5)], NPV [99.4 (98.9-99.9)], PLR [3.7 (3.1-3.8)] and NLR [0.06 (0.03-0.18)] for the triage of ASCUS patients, but the colposcopy referral rate (30.9%) was significantly lower than that of the recommended HR-HPV model (44.0%).

conclusionThis study confirms that the specific HR-HPV genotype HPV16/18/31/33/52/58 is an alternative strategy for ASCUS triage and can effectively reduce the high burden of colposcopy referrals in China.
