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

Background: Coexistent cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VaIN) is problematic, posing challenges for patient management. This study focused on the clinical characteristics of coexistent CIN 2/3 and VaIN (all degrees), evaluating the proclivity for disease recurrence/persistence at 6 months after treatment. Methods: A retrospective case-control study of women treated for coexistent CIN 2/3 and VaIN (CE group) was undertaken between January 2018 and December 2020. During the same period, women with CIN 2/3 only were selected chronologically (1:2 ratio) for comparison (sCIN group). A loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) was the standard treatment for CIN 2/3, performing electrofulguration of VaIN in tandem. First follow-up visits at 6 months thereafter entailed testing for human papillomavirus (HPV). Univariate and multivariate analyses served to assess pertinent risk factors. Results: There were 91 CE group members, each treated for coexistent CIN 2/3 and VaIN (VaIN 1, 35; VaIN 2/3, 56). Age ≥50 years (OR = 3.362, 95% CI: 1.421-7.954) emerged as an independent risk factor for coexistent disease. Positive margins and persistent high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) infection after treatment were more common in the CE (vs. sCIN) group ( Conclusions: Comprehensive vaginal wall examinations are warranted for women with CIN 2/3, particularly those >50 years old. Close follow-up by HPV test is also indicated if CIN 2/3 and VaIN coexist, given a heightened incidence of recurrent/persistent disease.
