Local hyperthermia with built-in endoscopy for radioresistant cervical cancer: a case series.
Article in Nagoya journal of medical science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
We evaluated the efficacy and safety of an endoscope-embedded transvaginal laser hyperthermia system for superficial cervical cancer that remained in the cervix after radiotherapy. We developed an innovative endoscope-embedded hyperthermia system consisting of a diode laser device, a temperature control unit, an endoscope control unit, and a transvaginal probe. Superficial lesions of recurrent or residual cervical cancer on the uterine cervix or vaginal wall after radiotherapy were eligible for this study. A total of four cases of three patients were eligible for this treatment. Case 1: The post-chemoradiotherapy residual tumor of a patient with stage IIB squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix was treated with the device. Two months after the laser hyperthermia treatment, the tumor's disappearance was confirmed. Case 2: A post-hysterectomy persistent tumor on the vaginal stump of a patient with stage IIB adenocarcinoma of the cervix was subjected to the laser hyperthermia treatment. Two months after the treatment, the stump's cytology was false positive. Case 3: As in case 2, this patient's recurrence in the anterior vaginal wall was subjected to laser hyperthermia treatment, but the tumor's growth was not controlled. Case 4: A tumor at the vaginal margin was identified during a salvage hysterectomy in a patient with stage IIB squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix who underwent chemoradiotherapy. After laser hyperthermia treatment, the tumor's disappearance was confirmed. Our new endoscope-embedded laser hyperthermia system can be a candidate for treating residual superficial cervical cancer after radiotherapy by accurately capturing superficial lesions.
