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

Introduction: Intrauterine devices (IUDs), both hormonal and nonhormonal, are widely used contraceptive methods, with approximately 20% of reproductive-aged women worldwide utilizing them. Although IUDs are generally considered safe and effective, complications such as displacement and migration can occur. We report a rare case of copper IUD migration into a cesarean section scar niche. Case Presentation: A 28-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with complaints of lower abdominal pain and abnormal vaginal bleeding. She had received a T-shaped copper IUD 2 years prior. Transvaginal ultrasound revealed an inverted IUD within the endometrial cavity, with one arm embedded in the cesarean scar defect. The device was successfully removed via hysteroscopy without complication. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of imaging evaluation in symptomatic IUD users with a history of cesarean delivery.
