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

backgroundEndometrial polyps (EPs) are at risk of transforming into endometrial cancer (EC). Terminal EC seriously affects women's quality of life and places a heavy financial burden on families. Investigating the risk factors that influence the conversion of EPs to EC and preventing them from progressing further is crucial. This study attempts to map the features of published literature on risk factors and understand the frontiers and hotspots of that research by using bibliometric analysis.

methodsWe obtained relevant publications from 1996 to 2024 from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) on July 11, 2024. Next, CiteSpace software, the R (Version 4.3.2) package Bibliometrix, the Online Analysis Platform of Document Metrology ( http://biblimetric.com ), and a web interface for Bibliometrix were used to analyse the data.

resultsThe analysis included 90 qualifying data points concerning the risk factors for the conversion of EPs to EC. The American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology was the most productive publication. The authors referenced the most were Cohen I and Ferrazzi E. After removing similar keywords, the keywords that did not have a specific meaning, the remaining keywords mainly included hysteroscopy, postmenopausal women, premenopausal, therapy, diagnosis, patients receiving tamoxifen, ultrasound, and management. The long-term management of EPs has emerged as a new research hotspot, per the trend topic.

conclusionsIn the published literature, age, perimenopause and postmenopausal bleeding are the most frequently studied factors for the conversion of EPs to EC, also including PCOS and polyp size. Endometrial polypectomy and long-term management may be recommended for these patients.
