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

objectivesThis study aims to analyze factors associated with positive surgical margins following cold knife conization (CKC) in patients with cervical high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) and to develop a machine-learning-based risk prediction model.

methodWe conducted a retrospective analysis of 3,343 patients who underwent CKC for HSIL at our institution. Logistic regression was employed to examine the relationship between demographic and pathological characteristics and the occurrence of positive surgical margins. Various machine learning methods were then applied to construct and evaluate the performance of the risk prediction model.

resultsThe overall rate of positive surgical margins was 12.9%. Independent risk factors identified included glandular involvement (OR = 1.716, 95% CI: 1.345-2.189), transformation zone III (OR = 2.838, 95% CI: 2.258-3.568), HPV16/18 infection (OR = 2.863, 95% CI: 2.247-3.648), multiple HR-HPV infections (OR = 1.930, 95% CI: 1.537-2.425), TCT ≥ ASC-H (OR = 3.251, 95% CI: 2.584-4.091), and lesions covering ≥ 3 quadrants (OR = 3.264, 95% CI: 2.593-4.110). Logistic regression demonstrated the best prediction performance, with an accuracy of 74.7%, sensitivity of 76.7%, specificity of 74.4%, and AUC of 0.826.

conclusionIndependent risk factors for positive margins after CKC include HPV16/18 infection, multiple HR-HPV infections, glandular involvement, extensive lesion coverage, high TCT grades, and involvement of transformation zone III. The logistic regression model provides a robust and clinically valuable tool for predicting the risk of positive margins, guiding clinical decisions and patient management post-CKC.
