Minimally invasive versus abdominal radical trachelectomy for early-stage cervical cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in American journal of cancer research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The safety of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for cervical cancer has been questioned. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of patients with cervical cancer who underwent MIS and abdominal trachelectomy. We searched for and subsequently analyzed studies published in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, and Clinical Trials.gov from their inception until April 10, 2023. Six studies with 1,079 participants were included, constituting 512 and 567 patients in the MIS and abdominal surgery groups, respectively. No significant difference was observed in the overall survival (hazard ratio [HR], 0.51; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.16-1.65; I
