Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07379905 (A Randomized Trial of MODUCARE Versus Wait-and-See Approach for Histologically Proven Low-grade Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia), which is not on this map.

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.

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.

Abstract

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is causally associated with cervical cancer and precancerous lesions (dysplasias) of the cervix. The treatment of choice for low-grade lesions is monitoring with no-treatment, because the majority of them will regress spontaneously. However, this wait-and-see approach can be assisted by nutritional supplements for immune support, like Moducare. The hypothesis of the trial is that Moducare can enhance the natural regression of CIN1. MODUCIN1 is a prospective, open-label, randomized trial where eligible patients will be randomized (1:1) to either the wait-and-see approach (control arm) or to the six months oral administration of Moducare capsules. The main inclusion criterion is newly histologically proven CIN1 and the main exclusion criterion is any previous cervical intraepithelial neoplasia with or without treatment or history of pelvic malignancy. The primary objective is to compare the regression rates of low-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN1) between the two groups: Wait-and-see approach and Moducare. The sample size is estimated at 182 eligible patients, while accrual is expected to last one year. The primary endpoint is expected to be reached after six months from last patient enrollment. The Trial Registration Number is NCT07379905.
