A unique case of IUD associated group A Streptococci pyogenic ascites.
Article in IDCases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Group A Strep (GAS) infection associated with intrauterine devices (IUDs) is rare and only sporadically described following IUDs removal. We present a unique case of toxic shock syndrome presenting with pyogenic ascites following IUD removal in a 29 year old otherwise healthy woman. Upon admission, the patient primarily complained of abdominal pain and diarrhea and was found to have acute kidney injury. Despite empiric antibiotic therapy, her condition deteriorated, developing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), worsening renal failure, ascites, and a desquamating rash on her palms. All cultures obtained from blood, urine, stool, and peritoneal fluid were negative. However, 16S rRNA PCR testing of the peritoneal fluid confirmed the diagnosis of GAS. Source control and full recovery were achieved following an exploratory laparotomy with abdominal washouts in addition to antibiotics administration. This report adds to the limited literature on GAS infections associated with IUDs and demonstrates the need for heightened clinical suspicion and advanced diagnostic techniques in similar scenarios.
