Ultrasound-Guided Endometrial Polypectomy Performed in an Office Setting Without Hysteroscopy.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Endometrial polyps are localized overgrowths of the endometrium that protrude into the endometrial cavity. Symptomatic persistent endometrial polyps warrant removal. Hysteroscopic polypectomy is the gold standard for endometrial polyp removal, with office-based procedures gaining popularity in recent years. We report an alternative technique of endometrial polypectomy in the office under transabdominal ultrasound guidance using an atraumatic 5-mm laparoscopic grasper, which is particularly useful when a hysteroscope is unavailable. This procedure could be successfully completed in more than 95% of women within a median duration of 15 minutes, with a median pain score of 3 on a scale of 10. The advantages of a laparoscopic grasper over the oft-used ovum forceps or sponge-holding forceps are also highlighted. Ultrasound-guided outpatient polypectomy appears to be a safe, well-tolerated, and cost-effective alternative to hysteroscopy for endometrial polypectomy and warrants further research.
