Coexistence of Gynecological Pathologies in Women With Cervical and Endometrial Polyps.

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
introductionCervical polyps (CPs) and endometrial polyps (EPs) are common gynecological conditions worldwide. Understanding the distribution of benign and malignant pathologies in women with these polyps is clinically significant. The coexistence of these conditions underscores their complexity, requiring an inclusive and detailed approach to diagnosis and management. This study aimed to investigate the distribution of coexisting pathologies in women with CPs and EPs.
methodsThis retrospective study analyzed records from 2000 to 2020 at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Venizeleio General Hospital of Heraklion, Crete, and the Third Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, School of Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece.
resultsFrom a total sample of 3,490 women, 772 women were diagnosed with one or more polyps; 343 (9.9%) had CPs, and 488 (14%) had EPs. Benign pathologies, such as cervicitis, adenomyosis, paraovarian cysts, and fibroids, were strongly associated with the presence of CPs. Regarding EPs, a positive statistical relationship was present between them and serous cystadenomas (p=0.005), cervicitis (p<0.001), adenomyosis (p=0.001), paraovarian cysts, and more than five fibroids (p<0.001). Endometrial polyps were strongly (p<0.001) correlated to endometrial hyperplasia with or without atypia. The occurrence of EPs and CPs appeared to decrease with age. Further analyses revealed a strong positive correlation between EPs and endometrial cancer (p=0.006). Endometrial polyps were strongly (p<0.001) correlated to endometrial hyperplasia with or without atypia. The occurrence of EPs and CPs appeared to decrease with age. Further analyses revealed a strong positive correlation between EPs and endometrial cancer (p=0.006).
conclusionsThere appears to be a correlation between EPs/CPs and other gynecological pathologies. Comprehensive evaluation and further longitudinal studies are therefore crucial for patients with polyps, as they may be at higher risk for coexisting benign and potentially malignant conditions.
