Delayed Ileal Perforation With Psoas Abscess and Fistulization Into the Inferior Vena Cava Post-Dilation and Curettage-A Case Report.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Dilation and curettage (D&C) is a common gynecological procedure, but it carries a risk of rare and catastrophic complications. We report the case of a 24-year-old female who presented with a 3-month history of persistent low-grade fever and progressive abdominopelvic pain following a D&C for a spontaneous miscarriage. Initial evaluations were inconclusive. A subsequent contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) scan revealed extensive bilateral psoas abscesses and, critically, the pathognomonic finding of free air within the lumen of the inferior vena cava (IVC), confirming an enterovascular fistula. An emergency exploratory laparotomy identified a contained ileal perforation with fistulous tracts extending to the right psoas muscle and the IVC. The patient was successfully managed with segmental ileal resection, abscess drainage, and primary suture repair of the IVC fistula. This case highlights a life-threatening, delayed iatrogenic complication of uterine instrumentation and underscores that the radiological finding of intravascular gas is a surgical emergency, mandating immediate intervention to prevent fatal sepsis or systemic air embolism.
