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

When detected early, uterine cervical cancer is one of the most successfully treatable forms of cancer. The diagnostic accuracy of the standard method, the Pap smear test followed by colposcopy, remains unsatisfactory. To improve detection of early-stage cervical cancer, new diagnostic tools for uterine cervical intraepithelial neoplasm (CIN) need to be developed. Magnifying endoscopy with narrow- band imaging (ME-NBI), which allows the visualization of the micro-structure as well as micro-vascularity of the mucosal surface, has excellent diagnostic ability for early gastrointestinal neoplasms. In our previous investigation, ME-NBI was efficacious for diagnosis of CIN. We herein report two notable cases of CIN3 that were diagnosed by ME-NBI that were not detected by colposcopy. These cases illustrate the usefulness of ME-NBI for diagnosis of early-stage uterine cervical neoplasms.
