Fibroepithelial polyps of the vagina: are they old granulation tissue polyps?
Article in Journal of clinical pathology, 1992. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
aimsTo study the nature of fibroepithelial polyps of the vagina.
methodsSixty five fibroepithelial polyps of the vagina and 64 granulation tissue polyps diagnosed over 15 years were reviewed histologically.
resultsCytologically benign multinucleated stromal cells were present in large numbers in 19 of the fibroepithelial polyps of the vagina (FEPV). Only one polyp contained atypical stromal cells, a high mitotic count, and abnormal mitoses and was indistinguishable from a malignant tumour. Immunostaining showed the presence of vimentin and desmin positive mono- and multinucleated stromal cells in FEPV and occasional oestrogen receptor positive nuclei. Desmin positive cells could not be shown in granulation tissue polyps.
conclusionsFEPV are common lesions with benign mono- and multinucleated fibroblastic stromal cells in which myoid differentiation is often present. FEPV may develop as a result of a granulation tissue reaction after some local injury of the vaginal mucosa. Hormonal factors may modulate the growth of FEPVs. Delayed differentiation of myofibroblastic cells may explain why granulation tissue sometimes does not contract properly but turns into polyps.
