Do Human Papilloma Virus and Cytological Testing Results Before Colposcopy Alter the Pathological Grading of Colposcopy Acetic Acid Visual Examination?: A Retrospective Study.

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
Objective: To understand whether human papillomavirus (HPV) and cytological testing (TCT [ie, "thinprep" cytological testing]) results can provide more information beyond visual information for vaginal colposcopy examinations to upgrade or downgrade the visual diagnosis of vaginal colposcopy. Patients and Methods: Data from 519 patients, who underwent vaginal colposcopy at the Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital (Beijing, China) between January and June 2020, were included. Preoperative HPV and TCT results were statistically analyzed, and were divided into 3 groups according to postoperative cervical tissue pathological diagnosis: negative; low-grade squamous intraepithelial (LSIL); and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL). Positive and negative predictive values for cervical inflammation, LSIL, and HSIL in patients diagnosed using vaginal colposcopy, based on cervical pathological grouping, and differences in HPV and TCT results among patients who underwent vaginal colposcopy, were analyzed. Results: The age of patients diagnosed with cervicitis, LSIL, and HSIL using colposcopy gradually decreased, and the proportion of HPV16/18 infection in the HSIL group was significantly higher than the other 2 groups. There were significant differences in TCT results among the groups. According to pathological results from cervical tissue specimens, among all groups diagnosed using colposcopy, the age of the HSIL group was significantly younger than that of the other groups, and the proportion of patients with a TCT greater than LSIL was significantly higher than that of the other groups. Conclusion: HPV did not provide additional information for vaginal colposcopy. Young(er) patients and those with a TCT greater than LSIL may consider upgrading the vaginal colposcopy diagnosis based on imaging information.
