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

Objective: To investigate the possible aetiology, clinical characteristics, diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, and prognosis of intrauterine device (IUD) migration into the bladder. Case report: A 39-year-old woman presented with recurrent symptoms of urinary urgency and dysuria. Computed tomography scans (CT) revealed that one arm of the IUD had migrated into the bladder, causing bladder stones. The patient underwent transurethral bladder lithotripsy and stone removal, laparoscopic bladder repair, and hysteroscopic removal of the IUD. The IUD was completely removed, and the bladder stones were successfully treated. The patient made a good postoperative recovery. Conclusion: Regular follow-up examinations are required following the insertion of an IUD, with ultrasound being the preferred method of follow-up. If recurrent urinary symptoms occur, the possibility of IUD migration into the bladder should be ruled out. CT can assist in the diagnosis.
