Associations between recent contraceptive use and quality of life among women.
Article in Contraception, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundWhether contraception affects health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is unclear. STUDY
designWe conducted a cross-sectional analysis of routine intake data collected from women aged 18-50 years, including the RAND-36 (Research and Development Corporation) measure of HRQoL, pregnancy intentions and recent contraceptive use. We used multivariable logistic regression to test the relationship between HRQoL and use of any and specific contraceptives. Physical and mental HRQoLs were dichotomized based on US population averages. Models were adjusted for age, race, marital status, education and pregnancy intentions.
resultsAmong the 726 women, those using any form of contraception were more likely to have average or better mental HRQoL than women using no contraception [adjusted odds ratio (aOR)=1.60, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.01-2.53]. Women using injectable contraception were less likely than those using combined hormonal methods to have average or better physical HRQoL (aOR=0.26, 95% CI 0.09-0.80) and mental HRQoL (aOR=0.24, 95% CI 0.06-0.86).
conclusionsMeasures of women's HRQoL differ with contraceptive use.
