Laparoscopic management of an intramurally migrated intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) without serosal perforation: a case report.

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
Introduction and importance: An intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) is a highly effective, long-term, and safe contraceptive method. However, serious complications, such as uterine perforation, can occur, particularly in high-risk women, thereby necessitating close follow-up. Case presentation: A 35-year-old woman, para 3 + 3, with 3 living children, all delivered by cesarean section, presented with persistent lower abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding 5 months postdelivery and IUCD insertion. The IUCD string was not visualized on either clinical examination or hysteroscopy. Ultrasonography suggested a migrated IUCD. Laparoscopy revealed an intramurally migrated IUCD, which was successfully removed, and she recovered well. Clinical discussion: Postpartum insertion of an IUCD increases the risk of displacement. When the IUCD string is not visualized, thorough evaluation is recommended for early diagnosis and management of this potentially serious complication. Conclusion: Routine follow-up after IUCD insertion is crucial, especially for high-risk women, to detect and manage migration early, with laparoscopy as the preferred treatment when feasible. However, laparotomy is still an optimal option in more complex cases.
