Is transvaginal ultrasound an appropriate screening tool for endometrial cancer in asymptomatic postmenopausal women? A case report.

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
A 55-years-old woman menopausal for the last 6 years discovered to have an endometrial thickness (ET) > 12 mm (suspected endometrial polyp) during routine evaluation in the gynaecology clinic using the transvaginal ultrasound (TVS). Departmental ultrasound confirmed the same TVS findings and suggested the presence of endometrial polyp as the main cause of the ET. Based upon the patient's risk factors (diabetic, hypertensive, obese with family history of endometrial cancer), a departmental decision was taken to proceed for diagnostic hysteroscopy and polypectomy after informed written consent. Large endometrial polyp and submucosal fibroid were found and excised during hysteroscopy. The histopathological results confirmed the intraoperative diagnosis of the endometrial polyp and submucosal fibroid. This report supports the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommendations and highlights that the TVS is not an appropriate screening tool for asymptomatic postmenopausal women. In addition, the ET > 4 mm in asymptomatic postmenopausal women does not need evaluation.
