Traumatic In-Situ Fracture of an Etonogestrel Implant (Nexplanon®) Presenting as Altered Palpation Without Bleeding: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

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
Etonogestrel implant fracture is rare with uncertain clinical impact. We report a traumatic in-situ fracture to highlight evaluation and management. A 27-year-old gravida 3 para 3 (G3P3) presented three months after a fall, noting her upper-arm implant felt "broken." During examination, palpation demonstrated loss of rod continuity with proximal and distal fragments. She had no abnormal bleeding from the uterus or the implant site. After counseling about uncertain effects on hormone release and efficacy, removal was performed under local anesthesia via two ~5-mm incisions. Two fragments (2.6 cm and 1.4 cm) were retrieved intact, and recovery was uncomplicated. She declined immediate replacement. Traumatic implant fracture may present solely as altered palpation. Clinicians should assess integrity after arm trauma, use imaging if nonpalpable, confirm complete removal, and offer immediate replacement of contraception.
