Diagnostic Accuracy of Cervical Pap Smear and Colposcopy in Detecting Premalignant and Malignant Lesions of Cervix.
Article in Indian journal of surgical oncology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 22 papers.
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.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of pap smear and colposcopy in detecting the premalignant and malignant lesion of the cervix. In this cross-sectional study, a total number of 160 women who presented with abnormal clinical problem or routine checkup during a 6-month period were included. All the patients underwent pap smear and colposcopy by the same gynecologists team, and finally, cervical biopsy was performed in all the individuals. The demographic and clinical characteristics as well as the obstetrics history were recorded. The diagnostic accuracy of each test was calculated according to the biopsy as gold standard. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive values (NPV) were recorded and compared between two modalities. Overall, we included a total number of 160 patients with mean age of 37.6 ± 7.32 (ranging from 24 to 63) years. The sensitivity and specificity of pap smear were found to be 47.19% and 64.79%, respectively. The PPV and NPV of the pap smear were calculated to be 88.69% and 38.46%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity, PPV, and NPV of the colposcopy were calculated as 64.72%, 52.74%, 76.32%, and 95.41%, respectively. The overall diagnostic accuracy of the pap smear and colposcopy was reported to be 82.2% and 96.3%, respectively. The results of this study demonstrate that colposcopy has a higher diagnostic accuracy in detecting cervical premalignant and malignant lesions compared to the pap smear.
