Bladder Stone Secondary to Migration of an Intrauterine Device: 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. 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
Intravesical migration of intrauterine devices (IUDs) is an uncommon complication that may lead to recurrent urinary tract infections, lower urinary tract symptoms, and bladder stone formation. Diagnosis requires high clinical suspicion and confirmation through imaging and cystoscopy. We present the case of a 33-year-old hypertensive woman with a history of two cesarean deliveries for preeclampsia who underwent IUD placement in 2016. She subsequently developed recurrent urinary tract infections. In 2024, hysteroscopic removal was attempted unsuccessfully. Computed tomography revealed a calcified "T-shaped" image in the posterior right bladder wall. Open cystolithotomy was performed, achieving complete removal without complications, and the patient had a favorable postoperative course. Bladder migration of IUDs is rare and may occur years after insertion. Clinical presentation is often nonspecific, which can delay diagnosis. Imaging, including CT scan, and cystoscopy are essential for localization and surgical planning. Open cystolithotomy is a safe and effective approach in cases with large calculi. This case highlights the importance of considering intravesical IUD migration in women with persistent urinary tract symptoms and absence of the device in the uterine cavity. Early diagnosis and appropriate surgical management allow safe resolution and prevent major complications.
