Comparison of Colposcopy and Histopathology in Abnormal Cervix.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Cervicovaginal cancer (CVC) is the most common malignancy of the genital tract. Colposcopy is a diagnostic procedure that is used to examine the cervix and tissue samples of the urethra and vulva in a magnified view. The colposcopy and histological findings of unhealthy cervixes in a tertiary care hospital were compared. This comparative cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2022 to March 2023 among women with a variety of gynecological complaints who visited the Department of Obstetricians and Gynecologists in a tertiary care facility. One hundred participants were included in this study. The data collected were analyzed using Microsoft Excel 2016 (Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, Washington, United States). Participants had an average age of 35.22 ± 7.18 years, and white discharge was the most reported ailment (73%). Comparing the results of the colposcopy with the histological findings revealed a sensitivity of 91.5% and a specificity of 72.2%. The high sensitivity of colposcopy highlights the need to combine it with histological techniques to obtain better results.
