The Performance of Modified Swede Colposcopic Index to Predict High Grade Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia and Cervical Cancer in the Real Clinical Practice, an External Validation Study.
Article in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 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
objectiveThe primary objective is to examine the external validity of the modified Swede colposcopic index (MSCI) for predicting cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2-3, including cancer (CIN2+), and to evaluate inter-rater and intra-rater reliability as a secondary objective in women with abnormal cervical cancer screening.
methodsWe conducted a prospective study to predict CIN2+ in women aged 25-65 years with abnormal cervical cancer screening results (atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) or higher and/or high-risk HPV infection). All participants were previously undiagnosed with CIN2+. We evaluated the effectiveness of MSCI in detecting CIN2+ using sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV).
resultsA total of 118 women were included in this study. Gynecologic oncologists using the MSCI achieved a sensitivity of 46.9%, specificity of 87.2%, PPV of 57.7%, NPV of 81.5%, and accuracy of 76.27%. Inter-rater reliability for the MSCI was good (ICC=0.77, 95%confidence interval=0.67-0.84), and intra-rater reliability was excellent (ICC=0.98, 95%confidence interval =0.97-0.99).
conclusionIn a real-world clinical setting, studies have demonstrated that MSCI exhibits high specificity while maintaining acceptable sensitivity.
