Laparoscopic surgery inhibits the proliferation and metastasis of cervical cancer cells.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental medicine, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
aimsThe present study is to investigate the effect of laparoscopic surgery on the proliferation and metastasis of cervical cancer cells.
methodsA total of 40 patients with phase I squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix were enrolled in the study, and divided evenly into laparoscopic surgery group and laparotomy group. In addition, another 20 patients with benign uterine lesions received laparoscopic panhysterectomy using celoscopes and were enrolled as control group. Cell apoptotic rates were determined using flow cytometry. The expression of N-myc, Fas, metastasis-associated gene 1, and nm23-H1 genes in tissues were measured using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.
resultsCervical cancer cell apoptosis was promoted by laparoscopic surgery, but not affected by laparotomy. The expression of apoptosis suppressor gene N-myc in cervical cancer cells was reduced by laparoscopic surgery, but not affected by laparotomy. In addition, the expression of apoptosis promoting gene Fas in cervical cancer cells was enhanced by laparoscopic surgery, but not affected by laparotomy. Similarly, the expression of metastasis promoting gene MTA1 in cervical cancer cells was lowered by laparoscopic surgery, but not affected by laparotomy. Moreover, the expression of metastasis suppressor gene nm23-H1 in cervical cancer cells was increased by laparoscopic surgery, but not affected by laparotomy. Of note, laparoscopic panhysterectomy had no effect on the apoptosis or the expression of N-myc, Fas, MTA1 and nm23-H1 genes in normal cervical cells.
conclusionsLaparoscopic surgery is a safe treatment method for cervical cancer. It inhibits the proliferation and metastasis of cancer cells, but has no such effects on normal cells.
