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

Background: PAX1 methylation (PAX1m) and HPV viral load (VL) have been reported to detect cervical high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL), but the relationship between them is unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between HPV VL and PAX1m and its effectiveness in predicting cervical lesions. (2) Methods: A total of 476 women referred to colposcopy for abnormal cervical screening at the Peking University People’s Hospital between November 2020 and November 2021 were enrolled. PAX1m and HPV VL were determined by QMSP and BMRT-HPV reports type-specific VL/10,000 cells, respectively. (3) Results: PAX1m was significantly increased in HSIL, especially in cervical cancer, but there was no significant difference between cervical intraepithelial neoplasms 1(CIN1) and CIN2. However, HPV VL significantly differed between CIN1 and CIN2 but not between CIN3 and cervical cancer. In general, PAX1m positively correlated with all hrHPV VL, mainly in the HPV16/18 VL (p < 0.001), but had no relationship with the other 12 types of hrHPV VL. PAX1m had the highest specificity in diagnosing CIN2+, followed by HPV16/18 VL, which are higher than cytology ≥ASCUS. (4) Conclusions: Hypermethylation of PAX1 is associated with high HPV VL, especially HPV16/18, and both present advantageous specificity in detecting CIN2+.
