Psychosocial Burden of Women With Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia in Japan: Results of A Web-Based Survey.
Observational study in The journal of obstetrics and gynaecology research, 2026. 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
aimHuman papillomavirus (HPV) infection carries a high risk of developing cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and cancer in women. For women with CIN, follow-up examinations and treatment are necessary and pose a psychosocial burden. This study investigated the psychosocial burden among women with CIN in Japan.
methodsThis observational, cross-sectional, online survey enrolled women aged 20-49 years in Japan who used a mobile health app (Kencom) linked to an employment-based health insurance association database. Participants completed a screening questionnaire on cervical screening history and CIN status. Eligible women then completed the HPV Impact Profile (HIP) to assess their psychosocial burden. CIN status was confirmed using diagnostic codes recorded in the Kencom database.
resultsA total of 404 women were eligible for the study, comprising 121 with confirmed CIN and 283 without CIN. The baseline characteristics were similar, although women with CIN were slightly younger (39.8 vs. 41.5 years) and less likely to be married (55.4% vs. 70.0%). Women with CIN had significantly higher total HIP scores, indicating greater burden than those without CIN (42.2 vs. 24.5; p < 0.001). The burden was evident in women with CIN grade 1 (p < 0.001) and more pronounced in younger women (trend for age groups; p < 0.001).
conclusionsThis study is the first to report a significant psychosocial burden of CIN in Japan, irrespective of CIN severity, with a greater impact in younger women. This psychosocial burden can be alleviated by HPV vaccination with evidence of preventing CIN.
