Cervical dysplasia among migrant women with female genital mutilation/cutting type III: A cross-sectional study.
Article in International journal of gynaecology and obstetrics: the official organ of the International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo assess the rate of cervical dysplasia in a population of migrant women with female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) type III who attended a specialized clinic for FGM/C.
methodsDescriptive retrospective cross-sectional study reviewing electronic medical records of all infibulated women who attended a specialized clinic for women and girls with FGM/C at Geneva University Hospitals (2010-2016). We examined sociodemographic characteristics, parity, FGM/C subtypes, presence/grade of cervical dysplasia, colposcopy follow up/treatment, infections, and history of sexual violence.
resultsOut of 360 women reviewed, 188 women with FGM/C type III were included. Mean age of the women was 37.7 (±5.14) years. They were mostly from East Africa (n = 116, 61.7%). A total of 113 (60%) had undergone defibulation, the majority (105; 92.9%) without undergoing re-infibulation. Cervical dysplasia was found in 20 (10.6%): 16 (8.5%) had a low-grade grade squamous intraepithelial lesion or HPV-positive atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance, Four (2.1%) had a high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions, of which one was a carcinoma in situ. Seven (35%) of the women with dysplasia underwent colposcopies regularly, five (25%) irregularly, and eight (40%) dropped out of colposcopy follow up.
conclusionCervical dysplasia is frequent among women with FGM/C type III and efforts should be made to guarantee follow up for migrant women.
