Cervical cancer screening guidelines and screening practices in 11 countries: A systematic literature review.
Article in Preventive medicine reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 38 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
The World Health Organization (WHO) advocates population-based screening programs to reduce the global incidence of cervical cancer. However, screening guidelines and practice continually change to reflect scientific developments. Here we describe and compare cervical cancer screening guidelines and clinical practice in 11 countries across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. We conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) complemented by a targeted literature review (TLR) to identify relevant peer-reviewed publications and policy documents, which include 120 publications, of which 86 were identified from the SLR and 34 from the TLR. Only six of 11 countries assessed have population-based screening programs in place. Considerable differences persist across countries' screening guidelines, even among comparable systems. Moreover, methods of data collection are also heterogenous, and systematic data collection is often not established. As future changes in screening guidelines and clinical practice occur (e.g., when the first cohorts of women vaccinated against HPV reach screening age), systematic collection of screening data is essential to monitor and improve screening performance.
