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

Cervical cancer is still a public health scourge in the developing countries due to the lack of organized screening programs. Though liquid-based cytology methods improved the performance of cervical cytology, the interpretation still suffers from subjectivity. Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms have offered objectivity leading to better sensitivity and specificity of cervical cancer screening. Whole slide imaging (WSI) that converts a glass slide to a virtual slide provides a new perspective to the application of AI, especially for cervical cytology. In the recent years, there have been a few studies employing various AI algorithms on WSI images of conventional or LBC smears and demonstrating differing sensitivity/specificity or accuracy at detection of abnormalities in cervical smears. Considering the interest in AI-based screening modalities, this well-timed review intends to summarize the progress in this field while highlighting the research gaps and providing future research directions.
