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

Methods: This multicenter, cross-sectional diagnostic accuracy study enrolled 500 women attending gynaecology and colposcopy clinics at four institutions in Ningxia, China (June 2025-January 2026), using a disease-enriched design with predefined histopathological groups. All participants simultaneously underwent FMU HPV testing and cervical co-testing (liquid-based cytology [TCT] + HPV DNA). Those with abnormal co-testing underwent colposcopy and biopsy. Groups were defined histopathologically: cervical cancer (n=80), high-grade lesion/CIN2-3 (n=120), low-grade lesion/CIN1 (n=50), and no lesion (n=250). Results: FMU HPV detection rates were 96.25%, 86.67%, 58.00%, and 28.00% in the four groups (P<0.001). For CIN2+, FMU achieved sensitivity 90.50%, specificity 67.00%, PPV 64.64%, NPV 91.36%; traditional cervical testing achieved 93.00%, 64.67%, 63.70%, and 93.27%, with no significant differences (all P>0.05; no predefined non-inferiority margin was tested). Per-protocol compliance (97.20% vs 84.80%) and satisfaction (95.40% vs 79.60%) favoured FMU testing (both P<0.001); the compliance advantage persisted in an intention-to-treat analysis (76.2% vs 66.5%, P<0.001). Conclusions: In this disease-enriched diagnostic cohort, FMU HPV testing showed diagnostic performance comparable to that of traditional cervical HPV testing for CIN2+ detection, with no predefined non-inferiority margin tested, and offered substantially superior patient acceptability. These findings support FMU HPV testing as a promising complementary, non-invasive option that warrants validation in average-risk screening populations before routine implementation.
