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

Background: Polyps are a common diagnosis in women of different ages. They can cause a variety of symptoms from bleeding to infertility and can even be the progenitor for malignancies. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study conducted in Isfahan. A total of 1004 patients were included in this study. After hysteroscopic polypectomy, patients had their information regarding the complications and recurrence recorded. Results: Symptoms improved in 639 (63.8%). Recurrence of polyps was seen in 143 (14.2%) patients. A total of 170 had a successful pregnancy, with 110 of them spontaneous. Using scissors had lower recurrence compared to graspers. Eight cases had complications during the treatment, two of which were major. Conclusion: Hysteroscopic polypectomy is the treatment of choice for uterine polyps. We show hysteroscopic polypectomy to have a high success rate and a low complications rate, with polypectomies done using scissors to have lower risk of complications or recurrence compared to graspers.
