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

Objective: To evaluate and compare the efficacy, impact on vaginal microbiota, changes in inflammatory/immune/proliferation biomarkers, and safety profile of Anti-HPV gel versus Interferon α-2b gel as adjuvant therapies after LEEP in patients with HSIL and HR-HPV infection. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 207 eligible patients diagnosed with HSIL and HR-HPV infection who underwent initial LEEP between January 2023 and January 2025. Patients were divided into a control group (n=102, Interferon α-2b gel) and an observation group (n=105, Anti-HPV gel), both receiving two standardized treatment courses post-operatively. Outcome measures included total clinical effective rate, vaginal microecological recovery (pH, Nugent score), serum inflammatory cytokines (IL-17, TNF-α, IFN-γ, TGF-β), immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG, IgM), cell proliferation markers (serum Survivin, cervical tissue Ki-67), adverse events, and 6-month HR-HPV recurrence rate. An exploratory model was constructed using post-treatment indicators to predict recurrence. Results: Compared with the control group, the observation group showed superior outcomes across multiple domains: a higher total clinical effective rate (87.62% vs. 75.49%, P = 0.024); better restoration of vaginal microecology with lower post-treatment pH (4.29 ± 0.37 vs. 4.78 ± 0.42, P<0.001) and Nugent score (2.96 ± 1.15 vs. 4.52 ± 1.37, P<0.001); greater reductions in serum inflammatory markers (IL-17, TNF-α, IFN-γ, TGF-β, all P<0.001); greater increases in immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG, IgM, all P<0.001); more pronounced decreases in cell proliferation markers (serum Survivin and tissue Ki-67, both P<0.001); a lower 6-month HR-HPV recurrence rate (6.67% vs. 16.67%, P = 0.024) with comparable overall adverse event incidence (10.48% vs. 13.73%, P = 0.473). The exploratory predictive model based on post-treatment indicators demonstrated good discrimination for recurrence (AUC = 0.812, 95% CI: 0.747-0.878). Conclusion: In conclusion, as a postoperative adjuvant, Anti-HPV gel demonstrated superior clinical and biomarker outcomes compared to Interferon α-2b gel, with a favorable safety profile and lower short-term recurrence risk, suggesting its promising clinical value pending prospective confirmation.
