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

In this report, the clinical performance of Liferiver HarmoniaHPV and Liferiver VenusHPV was evaluated under the VALHUDES framework. Five hundred and twenty-three women collected first-void urine (FVU) with Colli-Pee and vaginal samples with Evalyn Brush or Qvintip. Cervical samples were taken with the Cervex Brush by a clinician. Both vaginal and cervical samples were resuspended in 20 mL ThinPrep. Triplet samples from 499 women were tested with HarmoniaHPV and VenusHPV tests. The clinical accuracy of HarmoniaHPV did not differ in FVU and vaginal self-samples versus cervical samples. The relative sensitivity for CIN2+ on FVU and vaginal samples was 0.95 [95% CI 0.89-1.02] and 0.95 [95% CI 0.88-1.02], respectively. Relative specificity for < CIN2 was 0.95 [0.86-1.04] on FVU and 0.93 [0.86-1.01] on vaginal samples. VenusHPV demonstrated lower sensitivity on both self-sample types, whereas the specificity was similar to cervical samples. Post-hoc adjustment of the VenusHPV C
