The role of endocervicoscopy in women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia: a systematic review of the literature.
Synthesis in Updates in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Endocervicoscopy is an alternative diagnostic tool to endocervical curettage for the diagnostic workup of repeatedly positive cervicovaginal cytology suggestive of a high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) and negative or unsatisfactory colposcopy. The aim of this review is to summarize the current evidence on the diagnostic accuracy of endocervicoscopy in women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in the presence of nonvisible squamocolumnar junction with unsatisfactory colposcopy. A systematic review of literature was performed by searching in the main electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, Scopus, ClinicalTrial.gov, OVID and Cochrane Library), from their inception to January 2021 for studies testing endocervicoscopy. Risk of Bias Assessment was performed. Four articles were included: three prospective and one retrospective cohort studies. Data on the endocervicoscopy accuracy, the accuracy and reliability correlation with definitive histology, the cone biopsy dimension after endocervicoscopy, the comparison between endocervicoscopy and curettage and the lesion missed were analyzed. Based on our results, the limit of this technique is the low predictive value that does not allow it to replace the colposcopy. Nevertheless, it could help to define the characteristics and localization of cervical-suspected lesions. However, further studies are needed to clarify its use and indication.
