Surgical management of endocervical and decidual polyps during pregnancy: systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
purposeTo evaluate the impact of endocervical and decidual polypectomy on obstetrical outcomes of pregnant women.
methodsMEDLINE, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov, Scielo, EMBASE, Cochrane Library at the CENTRAL Register of Controlled Trials, and LILACS were searched from inception to April 2021. No language or geographical restrictions were applied. Inclusion criteria regarded observational studies concerning pregnant women with a cervical lesion who underwent cervical polypectomy. Co-primary outcomes were incidence of late pregnancy loss and preterm birth in women with endocervical or decidual polypectomy as well as polypectomy versus expectant management. Random effect meta-analyses to calculate risk ratio (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were performed. Quality assessment of included papers was performed using Newcastle-Ottawa Scale criteria.
resultsThree studies, with data provided for 3097 women, were included in quantitative analysis, with comparisons between endocervical and decidual polyps extracted from two studies and 156 patients. After a first trimester endocervical or decidual polypectomy, no significant differences were found for late pregnancy losses (RR 0.29 [95% CI 0.05, 1.80], I
conclusionsEvidence regarding the removal of cervical polyps in pregnancy is extremely limited. However, the removal of either decidual or endocervical polyps seems associated with increased risk of pregnancy loss and preterm birth, with increased preterm birth risk following endocervical rather than decidual polypectomy.
