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

Objective: This study aimed to assess the safety of vaginoscopic polypectomy for managing cervical polyps during pregnancy and to identify factors influencing postoperative obstetric outcomes. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 99 pregnant patients who underwent vaginoscopic polypectomy for cervical polyps at Beijing Tiantan Hospital between January 2017 and February 2025. Based on pregnancy outcomes, patients were categorized into three groups: term delivery ( Results: All cervical polyps were resected successfully in a single procedure without any perioperative complications during pregnancy. The rates of term delivery, preterm delivery, and spontaneous abortion were 88.88% (88/99), 6.06% (6/99), and 5.05% (5/99), respectively. Preoperative vaginitis and postoperative recurrent bleeding differed significantly among the outcome groups (both Conclusion: In this observational clinical study, vaginoscopic polypectomy appeared to be a feasible and well-tolerated intervention for symptomatic cervical polyps during pregnancy. Preoperative vaginitis and postoperative rebleeding were identified as key factors associated with adverse obstetric outcomes. These findings highlight the importance of rigorous perioperative infection control and the prompt management of bleeding in this specific population. Further large-scale, prospective, controlled studies are warranted to confirm the procedure's therapeutic effect and to validate the factors identified in this analysis.
