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

objectiveTo assess CIN3+ risk in a Chinese cohort of outpatients undergoing contesting screening and to evaluate the portability of the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ASCCP) risk-based management, which was primarily developed using data from the Kaiser Permanente of Northern California (KPNC) cohort.

methodsFemales aged 25-65 years who were screened with cytology and high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) co-testing between 2011 and 2020 at Wuhan Union Hospital (WHUH) were retrospectively studied. The risks of immediate and 3-year CIN3+ were estimated via prevalence-incidence mixture models. Portability was evaluated via the ratio of the observation risk in the WHUH cohort to the expected risk in the KPNC cohort (O/E) and its 95% CI.

resultsA total of 96 318 females were included, and 16.83% of the women tested hrHPV-positive at initial screening, who had a CIN3+ immediate risk of 14.14%. The CIN3+ immediate risk varied between subgroups of positive HPV16 (34.09%), HPV18 (13.38%), other HPV types (6.71%), and negative hrHPV (0.12%). Compared to the KPNC cohort, our cohort exhibited a significantly higher CIN3+ immediate risk (1.42% vs 0.46%; O/E, 3.09; 95% CI, 2.92-3.26) and disproportionately increased cancer immediate risks in most subgroups requiring immediate colposcopy or treatment, as well as higher 3-year CIN3+ risks in women with hrHPV-negative ASC-US/NILM. Yet, the action threshold suggested by ASCCP, a CIN3+ immediate risk of 4%, showed good portability to our cohort.

conclusionsDespite the higher risks in our cohort, the ASCCP clinical action threshold remains portable. For women with minimal abnormalities or normal results, shortened follow-up intervals should be considered.
