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

The problem of accurately predicting high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2+) in women with positive screening tests remains a challenge in clinical practice. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the role of endocervical curettage (ECC) in predicting high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2+) in women with positive screening tests. Conducted at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, the study included 112 women aged 30-60 with abnormal Pap smears or VIA-positive results. While colposcopy-directed biopsy (CDB) detected 23.2% of CIN2+ cases, ECC in combination with CDB identified 35.7%. Data shows that ECC to enhance detection but with lower sensitivity (38.5%) and positive predictive value (41.7%) compared to biopsy alone. ECC proved beneficial in improving CIN2+ detection in high-risk groups.
