Hysteroscopic cervical biopsy for women with persistent human papillomavirus infection after loop electrosurgical excision procedure: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAlmost all cases of cervical cancer can be attributed to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. The loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) is widely used to treat HPV-mediated disease; thus, cervical cancer is highly preventable. However, LEEP does not necessarily clear HPV rapidly and may affect the accuracy of the results of ThinPrep cytology test (TCT) and cervical biopsy due to the formation of cervical scars. CASE SUMMARY: A 40-year-old woman underwent LEEP for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 1 approximately 10 years ago. Subsequent standard cervical cancer screening suggested persistent HPV-52 infection, but TCT results were negative. Cervical biopsy under colposcopy was performed thrice over a 10-year period, yielding negative pathology results. She developed abnormal vaginal bleeding after sexual activity, persisting for approximately 1 year, and underwent hysteroscopy in our hospital. Histopathologic evaluation confirmed adenocarcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix.
conclusionPatients with long-term persistent, high-risk HPV infection and negative pathology results of cervical biopsy after LEEP are at risk of cervical cancer. Hysteroscopic resection of cervical canal tissue is recommended as a supplement to cervical biopsy because it helps define the lesion site and may yield a pathologic diagnosis.
