Performance and acceptability of self-collected human papillomavirus testing among women living with HIV.
Trial report in International journal of infectious diseases : IJID : official publication of the International Society for Infectious Diseases, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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 assess the validity, reliability, and acceptability of self-collected human papillomavirus (HPV) tests in women living with HIV (WLHIV) in the United States.
methodsWLHIV ≥30 years of age underwent self-collected (clinic and home) and clinician-collected HPV tests. Sensitivity and specificity analyses were performed using the clinician-collected HPV tests as the comparator. The unweighted kappa statistic was used to evaluate the validity and reliability of self-collected HPV testing, and the level of agreement between the clinician-collected mRNA test and a DNA test that was used for routine care. A 13-question survey was used to assess acceptability.
resultsAmong the 70 participants, the median age was 50 years, 75% had an undetectable HIV RNA, and 11% had a CD4 count of <200 cells/μl. Nearly 63% had at least one positive HPV test. The sensitivity and specificity of the self-collected HPV test were 84.6% (95% confidence interval (CI) 65.1-95.6%) and 62.9% (95% CI 44.9-78.5%), respectively (κ=0.5, 95% CI 0.2-0.7). The agreement between the two self-collected tests was good (κ=0.8, 95% CI 0.5-1.0). There was good agreement between clinician-collected mRNA tests and DNA tests (κ=0.8, 95% CI 0.7-1.0). Self-collection was highly acceptable.
conclusionsAmong WLHIV, self-collected HPV tests had good sensitivity and moderate specificity compared to clinician-collected HPV tests. The reliability between self-collected testing locations was good. Self-collected HPV testing had high acceptability.
