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

The aim of this study was to elucidate the nature of decidual polyp (DP) and to compare DP outcomes treated with cervical cerclage for a shortened cervix with the outcomes of cases treated with cervical cerclage without DP. The medical records of pregnant women who were complicated with cervical polyps were retrospectively reviewed. Cervical cerclage was considered for those cases with a shortened cervical length of under 25 mm and before 25 gestational weeks. We also reviewed pregnant women who had no cervical polyps, and who underwent cervical cerclage during the same study period, and defined them as the control group. A total of 56 pregnant women with cervical polyps were identified. All of the polyps in the 14 cases that had undergone cervical cerclage migrated into the cervical canal. Of the thirty seven cases with cervical polyps that did not necessitate cervical cerclage, eight women delivered preterm and six of these cases were diagnosed as DP. In all of the women studied, polyp migration was observed in 68.6 %. Cervical cerclage was performed significantly earlier in the DP group than in the control group of 46 cases (p < 0.001; 18.4 weeks vs. 21.4 weeks, respectively). Cervical cerclage is effective in DP cases with a shortened cervical length and polypectomy should not be performed during pregnancy because of the risk of miscarriage.
