Trial report in International journal of women's health, 2025. 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
This study aimed to analyze the changes in quality of life (QOL) and emotional well-being of patients undergoing diathermy ablation for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2/3 (CIN). A total of 40 patients were recruited for a prospective clinical trial, and the European Organization of Research and Treatment for Cancer (EORTC)-QLQ-C30 and EORTC-QLQ-CX24 questionnaires were used to assess QOL before surgery and at 3 and 6 months postoperatively. Friedman and Wilcoxon tests were employed for statistical analysis. The results showed significant improvements in emotional functioning, body image, symptom experience, and physical functioning after surgery. Vaginal discharge and abnormal bleeding decreased over time, indicating improved symptom control. Sexual activity was temporarily affected but eventually returned to preoperative levels at 6 months after surgery. This study highlights the positive impact of diathermy ablation on psychological well-being and QOL, and emphasizes the importance of patient-centered care in CIN treatment. These survey questionnaires will eventually enable us to compare global QOL assessments between patients undergoing various cervical cancer treatments, such as trachelectomy, and those with precancerous lesions.
