Ectopic Pregnancy Observed With Kyleena Intrauterine Device Use: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Kyleena (levonorgestrel 19.5 mg), a type of intrauterine device (IUD), has an efficacy rate of 99% in preventing pregnancy. Because the overall failure rate of IUDs is low, ectopic pregnancy (EP) with IUD use is uncommon. This case reports an EP observed in a female with the Kyleena IUD in place. She had no known risk factors for an EP, which makes this case noteworthy. Ultrasound and surgery confirmed a 4 cm EP in the ampulla of the left fallopian tube. Insufficient evidence exists to conclude whether the Kyleena IUD has a higher risk of EP compared to other hormonal IUDs. As the Kyleena IUD becomes a more popular option for women in search of an effective contraceptive, patients and clinicians should be aware of this potential risk. Our case emphasizes that continued research on the prevalence of EP with Kyleena use is necessary.
