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

objectiveEndometrial polyps are localised growths of endometrial tissue containing glands, stroma and blood vessels, covered with epithelium. The reported prevalence of endometrial polyps is dependent upon the population being studied and the uterine imaging technique utilised. The light microscopy literature provides very little information regarding their microvasculature and lymphatic systems; however, a plethora of ultrasound data demonstrating single central arteries in most medium- or large-sized endometrial polyps are well documented.

methodsArchived formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded blocks of endometrial curettings were retrieved from files for women with confirmed endometrial polyps (

resultsCD31 and D2-40 staining was present in all specimens, although there were no significant differences in blood vessel (

conclusionSmall blood vessel wall and perivascular structures rather than the distribution of vessels may be associated with abnormal bleeding.
