The Diagnostic Efficacy of Swede Score for Prediction of Pre-invasive Cervical Lesions: A Prospective Hospital-Based Study.
Article in Journal of obstetrics and gynaecology of India, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07012356 (Does The Type of Hr-HPV and Multiple HPV Carrier Status Increase The Effectiveness of The Colposcopy in Diagnosing Preinvasive Lesions Using The Swede Score and The 2011 IFCPC Nomenclature?), which is not on this map.

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
contextThe accuracy of colposcopy has recently been called into question particularly with regard to determining the site requiring biopsy. The technique of colposcopy is largely operator dependent, and the agreement between colposcopists is less reliable than once presumed. In an attempt to standardize colposcopy a new scoring system, the Swede score has been devised, which includes lesion size as a variable to be scored in addition to the 4 variables found in the modified Reids Colposcopic Index (RCI).
aimTo assess the diagnostic accuracy of Swede score for pre-invasive cervical lesion. SETTING AND
designA cross-sectional study in a tertiary care centre.
methodSwede score was calculated for assessment of pre-invasive cervical lesions on patients undergoing colposcopy who were suspected with pre-invasive cervical lesion. Cervical biopsy was taken if modified RCI ≥ 3 or Swede score ≥ 5. Histopathology report of the cervical biopsy was taken as gold standard.
resultsSwede scores of 5 or more had sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of 94.9%, 88.4%, 75.5% and 92.9% respectively.
conclusionThe Swede score by just incorporating one additional variable that is size of the lesion, showed better correlation with histopathology.
