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
Intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUCD) are widely used as a reversible method of contraception. Although uterine perforation caused by an IUCD is rare, in some cases, the device may migrate to the pelvic/abdominal cavity or nearby structures. When the IUCD migrate to the bladder, it can lead to various symptoms. These include pain or discomfort in the lower abdomen, difficulties or pain during urination, frequent urinary tract infections, and the development of bladder stones. This article presents a case report of a 24-year-old woman with an intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) that had migrated completely into the bladder. She had an IUCD inserted by a midwife four years earlier and became pregnant a year later, unaware of the IUCD's presence. She later presented with lower abdominal pain, hematuria, and dysuria three months before being admitted to our hospital. Imaging confirmed the intravesical location of the IUCD. She underwent successful cystoscopy treatment to remove the migrated IUCD. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial in preventing complications and improving patient outcomes. Clinicians should be aware of this potential complication and consider it when patients present with symptoms or complications after IUCD insertion. Regular monitoring and timely intervention can help detect and address IUCD migration effectively.
