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

Perforation of the appendix by an intrauterine contraceptive device occurs rarely. A 30-year-old woman presented to the emergency room complaining of severe abdominal pain and nausea 3 months after insertion of an intrauterine contraceptive device (Copper T). Ultrasound and radiological examination showed the device to be outside the uterus, in the right iliac fossa. Adhesions were found at laparoscopy between the appendix and the right adnexa. Appendicectomy, removal of the intrauterine device, and right salpingo-oophorectomy were performed. She was discharged home without any complications. Histopathology revealed inflammation of the appendix. Uterine perforation should be considered in women with abdominal pain following insertion of an intrauterine device.
