Retrospective Review of Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) Outcomes at a Tertiary Hospital in Zambia.
Article in Obstetrics and gynecology international, 2020. 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
There is a lack of knowledge on the histologic outcomes of loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) biopsies in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cervical cancer in Zambia. This study determined the outcomes of LEEP biopsies and associated factors at a tertiary hospital. We conducted a retrospective chart review of patients evaluated at a tertiary hospital cervical cancer screening centre. From the database, we identified patients who underwent LEEP between January 2015 and June 2018. We extracted demographic data, HIV data, and LEEP biopsy results. A
