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 AND

objectivesScreening of rural women of Assam by careHPV test for high-risk HPV (hr-HPV) DNA and Papanicolaou (PAP) test for abnormal cytology.

methodThis prospective cross-sectional study included 480 non-pregnant women participants aged 20-70 years from Kamrup District, Assam. Two cervical scrap samples were obtained from eligible enrolled women. The Hr-HPV DNA test by CareHPV was performed with one cervical scrap, and a second cervical scrap sample was used for the Papanicolaou (PAP) test. The statistical analysis was done using RStudio for variables. A p-value < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.

resultsWomen having positive hr-HPV DNA outcomes were 3.33% (16/480) and 7.7% (37/480) women had positive PAP. Tobacco chewing was significantly associated with positive hr-HPV DNA (p = 0.04) and positive PAP (p = 0.03) status. Alcohol-consuming women have a significantly higher risk of positive hr-HPV DNA (p < 0.00001) and positive PAP (p-0.04) outcomes. Irregular menstruation (p = 0.004) and urogenital tract infection (p = 0.008) also have significant risk for a positive hr-HPV DNA status. The positive hr-HPV DNA status was also significant in women having > 3 numbers of children birth (p = 0.003).

conclusionWe found that the positive hr-HPV DNA status among rural women in Kamrup, Assam, was significantly associated with alcohol consumption, tobacco chewing, irregular menstruation, urogenital tract infection, and more than three children birth. The abnormal cytology outcome was also substantially associated with tobacco chewing and alcohol consumption.
