When contraception goes rogue: Bladder migration of an intrauterine device presenting as refractory cystitis.
Article in Urology case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Intrauterine device (IUD) migration into the urinary bladder is a rare but significant complication that may mimic chronic cystitis or recurrent urinary tract infections due to nonspecific symptoms such as dysuria, hematuria, suprapubic pain. A 31-year-old multiparous woman presented with persistent lower abdominal pain, fatigue, and urinary symptoms. Imaging and cystoscopy revealed a migrated IUD embedded in the bladder wall. Transurethral removal failed due to fibrosis, but laparoscopic removal was successful, with complete symptom resolution. This case underscores the need to consider IUD migration in women with recurrent urinary symptoms and highlights the value of early imaging and minimally invasive treatment.
