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

backgroundColposcopy currently plays a vital role in the diagnosis and treatment of lower genital diseases. Exposure and biopsy are two key steps in colposcopy. When the whole transformation zone or all lesions cannot be observed, we judge colposcopy as unsatisfactory. Unsatisfactory colposcopic examination may lead to the misdiagnosis of more severe diseases. The combination of colposcopy and vaginoscopy may contribute to accurate diagnosis and clinical decisions. CASE SUMMARY: Here, we introduce a case of posthysterectomy deep vaginal apex not fully exposed by colposcopy, and the biopsy result was a vaginal precancerous lesion. We adopted vaginoscopy to extend the observed area and expose the lesion thoroughly, and the biopsy result was vaginal squamous cancer.

conclusionThe patient received a precise diagnosis and early surgery due to the combination of colposcopy and vaginoscopy.
