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

Cervical cancer was the fourth most common cancer worldwide in 2022. There is an urgent clinical need for new objective and reproductible methods aiming an early diagnosis. The aim of the present study is to characterize fresh cryopreserved human cervical tissue through Raman microspectroscopy to identify spectral biomarkers that highlight the chemical differences between healthy and malignant tissues. Normal and tumoral human cervical tissues samples were collected prospectively from patients and from pathology specimens and cryopreserved at -80°C without any treatment or cryoprotectant. Two parallel 10 µm sections were cut from each tissue block for histopathology and spectroscopy analysis. Raman microspectroscopy using a 532 nm laser was performed in the first minutes after defrosting the sample. Concerning the high-wavenumber region (2800-3600 cm
