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

Intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) is commonly used to prevent unwanted pregnancy. Migration of IUCD into the bladder is a rare complication. We present a case of a 38-year-old woman with a history of IUCD insertion 05 years ago, immediately following her last delivery. She had a history of unplanned pregnancy 05 months following the IUCD insertion. She also complained of lower urinary tract storage symptoms. Clinical examination revealed suprapubic tenderness. Non-contrast abdomino-pelvic CT scan and cystoscopy confirmed the presence of an IUCD in the bladder with an attached stone. Open Cystotomy was performed, successfully removing the bladder stone with the intravesical IUCD. The patient was discharged without complications and reported symptom resolution during follow-up. IUCD migration into the bladder is a rare but clinically significant complication. There should be a high index of suspicion of migration in a patient with unexpected pregnancy associated with urinary complaint following IUCD insertion.
