A rare case report - Urosepsis as a result of a neglected and forgotten pessary for 10 years.

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
A pessary is a silicone ring placed on the vagina that can improve urinary incontinence. This study reports an 83-year-old patient with a pessary discovered inside her vagina after a prior urinary incontinence treatment. The prolonged presence of the pessary in the patient's body led to a complication called urosepsis. The presence of the pessary inside the patient's vagina for an extended period was not detected by the doctor who performed the gynecological checks, nor by the patient who had forgotten about it. The pessary remained inside her for 10 years until it was discovered accidently during a hysterectomy.
