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

Background: Cluster of Differentiation-4(CD4),Cluster of Differentiation-8(CD8), and interleukin-10 (IL-10) have long been considered to be related to cervical cancer, but the exact relationship remains unclear. Few studies investigated the relationship between CD4,CD8,IL-10, and high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) with risk of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Objective: Our aim is to evaluate the relationship between CD4, CD8, IL-10, and high-risk HPV infection with the risk of CIN, as well as their interactions on CIN. Design: In 2014-2015, a cross-sectional study of screening data was conducted among 2285 women aged 19-65 years who participated in an ongoing community-based cohort of 40,000 women in Shanxi, China. Using categorical and spline analyses to evaluate the relationship between local vaginal fluids of CD4,CD8,CD4/CD8,IL-10, and CIN risk. A total of 1,503 controls were followed up until January 31, 2019. A nested case-control study was used to assess the relationship between vaginal lavage CD4, CD8, CD4/CD8, and IL-10 levels and the risk of CIN progression. Results: After adjusting for possible confounding factors,CD4 and CD8 levels were positively related to CIN risk (the 1st versus 4th quartile CD4,CD8 OR = 0.45[0.34, 0.60] and 0.34[0.26, 0.45] for CIN1, 0.32 [0.21, 0.48] and 0.24 [0.16, 0.38] for CIN2/3). Increased CD4 and CD8 levels were positively related to the occurrence of CIN(P-overall<0.01).CD4/CD8 levels and the risk of CIN1 followed a nonlinear "U-shape" (P-nonlinear <0.01). IL-10 levels and the risk of CIN1 followed a nonlinear "n-shape"(P-nonlinear <0.01).IL-10 levels were inversely related to the occurrence of CIN2/3(OR = 3.87, [2.49, 6.00],P-overall<0.01). The highest risk of CIN was observed in women with high-risk HPV, whose CD4 and CD8 levels were the highest(P-interaction < 0.01).Patients with the lowest IL-10 levels(IL-10 ≤ 53.17pg/ml) who are positive for high-risk HPV infection have the highest risk of CIN2/3(OR = 18.46,[9.33-36.51]). Nested case-control analysis observed a positive relationship between CD4,CD8 levels, and risk of CIN progression (CD4 OR = 0.34,[0.13, 0.94];CD8 OR = 0.27, [0.09, 0.79]),and an opposite relationship between IL-10 levels and risk of CIN progression (OR = 2.92, [1.09, 7.84]). Conclusions: Local vaginal CD4 and CD8 levels were positively correlated with CIN risk, and IL-10 levels were inversely correlated with CIN2/3, whether or not with high-risk HPV infection in Chinese women.
