Correlation analysis on risk factors for cervical cancer in perimenopausal women.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo analyze the risk factors for cervical cancer in perimenopausal women.
methodsThe data of 380 cervical cancer patients and 380 healthy individuals undergoing physical examinations at the Health Management Center of West China Hospital, Sichuan University, between April 2022 and March 2023, were retrospectively analyzed. The baseline information, genetic characteristics, medical records (both past and present), menstrual cycles, healthy conditions of the reproductive system, and sexual activities of patients in the cervical cancer patient group and healthy control group were compared. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to evaluate the potential risk factors and to comprehensively assess the impact of these factors on the prevention of cervical cancer.
resultsParticipants in the healthy control group showed a significantly lower age for first intercourse, first marriage and first pregnancy compared to those in the cervical cancer patient group. The proportions of married participants and those with a high school degree or above were higher in the healthy control group than those in the cervical cancer patient group. Additionally, the proportion of participants without a history of genetic diseases or any other diseases was significantly higher in the healthy control group than that in the cervical cancer patient group (P<0.05). The number of participants with regular menstrual cycles was significantly higher and the incidence of dysmenorrhea markedly lower in the healthy control group in comparison to the cervical cancer patient group (P<0.05). Meanwhile, the number of participants with only one pregnancy experience was higher and those with an abortion history was lower in the healthy control group than those in the cervical cancer patient group (P<0.05). Notably, more participants in the healthy control group preferred using contraception, underwent regular gynecological examinations and washed their external genitalia before sexual intercourse when compared to the cervical cancer patient group. Moreover, the healthy control group also had a higher proportion of participants who had sexual intercourses less than 4 times a week and who manually washed their underwear in comparison to the cervical cancer patient group (P<0.05). In addition, a total of 11 risk factors were identified to be in association with cervical cancer, which were human papillomavirus (HPV) testing (OR = 30.326), presence of reproductive system symptoms (OR = 27.605), dysmenorrhea (OR = 26.470), washing external genitalia before intercourse (OR = 0.430), passive smoking (OR = 16.119), duration of heating in winter (OR = 0.444), physical exercises (OR = 0.272), consumption of fried foods (OR = 8.240), vegetable intake (OR = 0.933), alcohol consumption (OR = 5.468), and consumption of chili peppers (OR = 4.797), listed in the order of their influential power.
conclusionPerimenopausal women should have a regular screening for cervical cancer during their hospital visits. More than that, they can seek to avoid risk factors in their daily life to prevent the occurrence of cervical cancer.
