*The basis for the assumed risk (e.g. the median control group risk across studies) is provided in footnotes. The corresponding risk (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI). For default rates the relative effect is calculated between cytological surveillance versus immediate colposcopy. For histology the relative effect is calculated between immediate colposcopy versus cytological surveillance.
ASCUS: atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance CI: Confidence interval; CIN: cervical intraepithelial neoplasia; LSIL: low‐grade squamous intra‐epithelial lesions; RR: Risk Ratio

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High quality: Further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect.
Moderate quality: Further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate.
Low quality: Further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate.
Very low quality: We are very uncertain about the estimate.

1 Downgraded to moderate due to substantial inter‐study heterogeneity (P = 0.08, I2= 61%).
2 Downgraded to low due to considerable inter‐study heterogeneity (P < 0.00001, I2= 94%).
3 Downgraded due to presence of the other possible bias resulting in falsely high CIN detection rate in the cytological surveillance arm.
4 Downgraded to moderate due to substantial inter‐study heterogeneity (P = 0.02, I2= 75%).
5 Downgraded to low due to considerable inter‐study heterogeneity (P < 0.00001, I2= 93%).
6 Downgraded to moderate due to considerable inter‐study heterogeneity (P = 0.02, I2= 76%).
7 Downgraded to moderate due to considerable inter‐study heterogeneity (P = 0.0004, I2= 87%).
8 Downgraded to low due to substantial inter‐study heterogeneity (P = 0.02, I2 = 82%).
