Prognostic outcome of cervical laser ablation using a holmium yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Ho:YAG) laser for the treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia: A single-center retrospective study.

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
Objective: Although cervical conization is considered a standard treatment for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 2/3, laser ablation can compensate for the disadvantages of the former. CO Methods: We evaluated the recurrence rates of the pathological condition in patients who underwent laser ablation with a Ho:YAG laser for CIN2/3 at our institution from June 2012 to November 2021. We defined the recurrence as histologically confirmed CIN2 or more advanced stage. Age, preoperative diagnosis, human papillomavirus (HPV) genotype, and postoperative high-risk HPV status were recorded to establish their association with recurrence rates. Results: We performed surgery in 607 patients and the 2-year recurrence rate after interventions was 5.6%. Five patients were diagnosed with invasive cancer at the time of recurrence. Older age significantly correlated with higher risk of recurrence, but preoperative CIN grade and preoperative HPV 16/18 status did not significantly affect it. The postoperative high-risk HPV test was 100% sensitive for detecting recurrence. Conclusions: Laser ablation with the Ho:YAG laser yields promising results. Together with postinterventional management, high-risk HPV test after laser ablation should be conducted after diagnostic conization.This study received the approval from the Ethics Committee of the NHO Tokyo Medical Center (Ethics Committee approval number: R22-067).
