Explanation:
To address an issue or topic is to deal with it.

An issue or topic can be addressed in a number of ways. An article in a newspaper might, for example, address, or deal with the issue of unemployment, by analysing its causes. A governemnt might attempt to address, or deal with the same issue by creating jobs for school leavers.

In your context, the scientific studies which were carried out addressed, or analysed the matter of Pap testing methods in detecting specific types of glandular disease and the writer is suggesting that the way in which the studies did this was not consistent.
