Cervical cancer in 2 women with a Mirena(R)-pitfalls in the assessment of irregular bleeding: a case series.
Article in Cases journal, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionThe levonorgestrel-releasing intra-uterine device (Mirena(R)) is an effective, long term form of contraception that leads to a significant reduction of menstrual bleeding among majority of women. However, irregular bleeding is quite common in initial Mirena(R) users and may thereby mask underlying cervical pathology. CASE PRESENTATION: Two women with cervical cancer and a Mirena(R) initially presented with irregular bleeding, posing a diagnostic pitfall which resulted in doctor and patient delay.
conclusionProper evaluation of irregular vaginal bleeding, including cervical cytology, should be a prerequisite among all women opting for a Mirena(R) and must be repeated in case of persisting symptoms.
