1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo evaluate the feasibility and surgical outcome of the modified method of cervical conization with hybrid use of a cold knife and an electric knife.

methodsA retrospective analysis of cervical conization for high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions was performed between January 2020 and December 2020. Traditional cold knife conization and modified conization were used. The clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes were compared between these methods.

resultsNinety-two patients with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions were included. Traditional conization was performed in 46 patients, and the modified method was used in 46 patients. There were no differences in clinical characteristics, such as age, menopausal status, and conization height, between the methods. Intraoperative blood loss with the modified method was significantly lower than that with traditional conization (27.6 ± 4.7 vs 51.3 ± 18.3 mL). Postoperative vaginal bleeding requiring emergent measures, such as prolonged gauze compression, sutures, or electrocautery, was significantly less with the modified method than with traditional conization (4.3% vs 17.4%). A median follow-up of 10.2 months showed no significant difference in persistence or recurrence between the methods.

conclusionsThe modified method of cervical conization with hybrid use of cold and electric knives may be a good alternative to traditional cold knife conization.
