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

The levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) is a highly effective contraceptive method that has several noncontraceptive benefits. It has been used in various gynecological conditions, such as heavy menstrual bleeding, dysmenorrhea, and endometrial hyperplasia. During the perimenopausal period, hormonal fluctuations occur, and there is a high tendency for the development of several benign gynecologic diseases. Therefore, the use of LNG-IUS in perimenopausal women might be more beneficial than in women belonging to other age groups. Moreover, the insertion of LNG-IUS during the perimenopausal period could confer endometrial protection during estrogen replacement therapy. In this review, we discuss the use of LNG-IUS in perimenopausal women.
