Neglected Intrauterine Device Migration Complications: Case Reports.
Article in Women's health reports (New Rochelle, N.Y.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
This series of four cases describes unusual intrauterine device (IUD) migration complications, associated etiologic factors, and their management. Recent increases in sociopolitical and medical forces worldwide contributed to inattention to these patients with subclinical IUD complications. The international movement of patients, delays in gynecologic care due to the COVID-19 pandemic, lack of health care access, shifts away from annual examinations, and patients' lack of medical records or IUD awareness can lead to long durations of neglected IUDs and associated complications. These complications might have been avoided or minimized with regular gynecologic health care. Physicians should consider moving toward routine examinations of all IUD patients, rather than away from annual examinations as has been promulgated by some medical societies. Patient education is needed on the importance of routine monitoring of IUDs and retention of device records. Clinicians should become familiar with IUDs from around the world as well as devices no longer being prescribed, as their appearance, associated complications, and presentations may differ from locally currently available devices.
