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

backgroundIn China, the national cervical cancer screening protocol involves initial testing for high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV), followed by cytology for hrHPV-positive cases. This study evaluates the effectiveness of PAX1 methylation (PAX1

methodsBetween February 2022 and March 2023, 281 cervical samples from non-16/18 hrHPV-positive women underwent cytological examination and PAX1

resultsA significant association was found between PAX1 methylation levels and the risk of CIN2 + and CIN3 + lesions, with 47 instances of CIN2 + detected. Odds ratios (ORs) for moderate and high PAX1

conclusionsPAX1 methylation is a strong indicator of CIN2 + and CIN3 + risk, offering diagnostic performance comparable to cytology with the added benefit of reduced unnecessary colposcopy referrals. These findings support the use of PAX1
