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

purposeTo compare between postplacental insertion of levonorgestrel intrauterine system versus copper intrauterine device regarding expulsion rates, patient satisfaction, complications, and continuation rates.

methodsThis prospective observational study was conducted on 1100 participants divided in to two groups: group (1) CU-IUD group and group (2) LNG-IUS group where women were assigned for postplacental insertion of either CU-IUD or LNG-IUS, respectively. Follow-up at 6 weeks, 3 and 6 months postpartum and data were collected and analyzed to evaluate outcomes.

resultsNo statistical difference between both groups regarding patients' characteristics, the overall expulsion rate was higher in LNS-IUS group than CU-IUD group; 77 patients (14%) and 50 patients (9%), respectively, (

conclusionThe rate of expulsion of LNG-IUS is higher than copper IUD when inserted postplacental, yet the continuation and acceptability rates were comparable between the two groups.
