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

Objective: SARS-CoV-2 infection has been associated with an increase in inflammatory factors, a weakening of the immune system, and a potentially delay in wound healing following surgery or ablative treatment. In this retrospective cohort study, we aimed to investigate the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on wound healing following cervical treatment in patients with squamous intraepithelial lesions (SIL). Method: From November 2022 to February 2023, patients with SIL who underwent cervical ablative treatment or loop electrosurgical excision procedure at the People's Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China, were enrolled in the study. Of these, 29 patients who developed symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection and confirmed by an antigen test within one month after cervical treatment were included as experimental group, while the other 31 patients who received cervical treatment after recovering from SARS-CoV-2 infection were included in the control group. The cervical wound condition of all patients was documented using colposcopy immediately and one month after the procedure. Image J software was utilized to analyze the wound healing rate at one month post-treatment, and the wound healing status between two groups was compared. A vaginal discharge examination was performed before and one month after cervical treatment. Results: No significant differences in age, severity, treatment, or time between groups. Experimental group had significantly lower healing rate 83.77(62.04, 97.09) % than control 98.64(97.10, 99.46)%, Conclusion: SARS-CoV-2 infection may prolong the healing time of cervical treatment in patients with SIL. To minimize the risk of delayed healing, it's crucial for patients to avoid viral infections such as SARS-CoV-2 within the first month of treatment. Taking necessary precautions to prevent infection is essential for successful cervical treatment outcomes in patients with SIL.
