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

purposeWhen used for cervical cancer primary screening, liquid-based cytology (LBC) has a high specificity but a low sensitivity. For histological diagnosis of high-grade lesions, p16

methodsA total of 1197 cytology slides were immuno-stained using automatic p16

resultsIn combining two studies, there were 431 cases with biopsy pathology. They included 83 cases with CIN2+ and 41 cases with CIN3+. The p16 positivity rate increased with pathologic and cytologic severity (P<0.0001). For primary screening: p16 immuno-cytology was more specific than HPV testing and was similar in sensitivity. Also, p16 immuno-cytology compared favorably with routine LBC (≥ASC-US or ≥LSIL) in sensitivity and specificity. For secondary screening: after LBC screening, "Triaging ASC-US with p16" gave a higher specificity and a similar sensitivity as compared to the "Triaging ASC-US with hrHPV" algorithm. After HPV primary screening, p16 immuno-cytology was more specific than LBC (≥ASC-US); the calculated colposcopy referral rate was also decreased by using p16 immuno-cytology as triage. Triage of "HPV16/18 and p16" had higher specificity and similar sensitivity as compared to triage of "HPV16/18 and LBC ≥ASC-US".
