Overtreatment in the see-and-treat approach for high-grade squamous cervical cytology.

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
Objectives: To evaluate overtreatment with the 'see-and-treat' approach in patients with high-grade squamous cervical cytology, and identify the clinical factors associated with overtreatment. Study design: Patients with high-grade squamous intra-epithelial lesion (HSIL) cytology undergoing colposcopy and loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) in a single visit or the 'see-and-treat' approach from January 2005 to December 2019 were reviewed retrospectively. The overtreatment rate and complications following LEEP were explored. Results: In total, 220 cases were identified. The overtreatment rate was 11.4%, and surgical complications were haemorrhage ( Conclusions: The overtreatment rate with the 'see-and-treat' approach was 11.4%. Independent factors associated with overtreatment were current cervical cytological result of non-HSIL, and low-grade or normal colposcopic diagnosis.
