Intraperitoneal migration of an intrauterine device (IUD): A case report.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
introductionThe IUD is one of the most widely used reversible, long-term contraceptive methods in the world. About 80% of IUDs are found in the peritoneal cavity after uterine perforation. CASE REPORT: A 27-year-old female patient presented with chronic pelvic pain with minimal metrorrhagia for 8 months on IUD. On examination, there was no IUD thread. Pelvic ultrasound showed a hypoechoic, heterogeneous, poorly limited formation measuring 3 × 2.68 cm. Abdominal-pelvic CT scan showed hyperdense supravesical material surrounded by a hypo-dense, well-limited collection measuring 26 × 25 mm. Laparoscopy showed an anterior peritoneal collection above the bladder containing the IUD, a uterus, adnexa, and a bladder without abnormality. The IUD was removed after incision of the collection and aspiration of the pus. DISCUSSION: The IUD is one of the most widely used long-term reversible contraceptive methods in the world. But like any foreign body, it can present complications, notably migration after uterine perforation, which remains rare, and even rarer peritoneal localization. The clinical diagnosis is not always obvious, and additional examinations are necessary to locate the device, including endovaginal ultrasound, a CT scan or magnetic resonance imaging.WHO recommends surgical removal of the migrated IUD by minimally invasive methods, including hysteroscopy, cystoscopy, colonoscopy, or laparoscopy, depending on the location of the IUD.
conclusionIUDs are effective contraceptive measures, and the majority of patients with uterine perforation by IUD migration are asymptomatic. Diagnosis is based on a thorough gynecologic analysis and appropriate radiologic imaging.
