Bladder-embedded ectopic intrauterine device with calculus.
Article in Open medicine (Warsaw, Poland), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 4 papers.
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
The present study aimed to analyze the data of embedded intrauterine device (IUD) in the bladder wall with the additional presence of calculus. This case series study included 11 female patients with partially or completely embedded IUD in the bladder wall. Their median age was 34 (range, 32-39) years. The median duration of IUD placement was 36 (range, 24-60) months. The median duration of symptoms was 9 (range, 3-12) months. Six patients underwent laparoscopy: the operation duration was 129 (range, 114-162) min, blood loss was 15 (range, 10-25) mL, the hospital stay was 4 (range, 4-4.5) days, the visual analog scale (VAS) for pain at 6 h after surgery was 3 (range, 2-6), and the time to removal of the urethral catheter was 7 (range, 7-8) days. Five patients underwent open surgery: the operation duration was 126 (range, 96-192) min, blood loss was 30 (range, 20-50) mL, the hospital stay was 7 (range, 7-15) days, the VAS was 6 (range, 4-9) at 6 h after surgery, and the time to removal of the urethral catheter was 9 (range, 8-17) days. The IUD and bladder stones were successfully removed in all 11 (100%) patients.
