Colposcopic Alterations Are More Frequent in Smokers and Appear at a Younger Age.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). 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
BACKGROUND/
aimTobacco use is a recognized cofactor risk for cervical cancer induced by high-risk Human Papilloma Virus (HR-HPV). This study aimed to evaluate the specific influence of tobacco use on colposcopic examination results in women infected by HR-HPV. PATIENTS AND
methodsHR-HPV-positive women undergoing a loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LLETZ) after colposcopic examination were considered for this study. A total of 819 patients from a regional screening program were included, of whom 320 were smokers and 499 non-smokers.
resultsSmokers were significantly younger (41.1
conclusionSmoking in any amount is associated with worse colposcopic and histopathological findings, and this occurs at younger ages.
