Awareness and interest in intrauterine contraceptive device use among HIV-positive women in Cape Town, South Africa.
Article in Infectious diseases in obstetrics and gynecology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveTo assess awareness of and interest in intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) use among HIV-positive women in Cape Town, South Africa.
designCross-sectional survey.
methodsHIV-positive women aged 18 through 45 years presenting for care at a primary health care clinic in Cape Town, South Africa participated in this study. Consented participants completed a staff-administered questionnaire in a private setting. Descriptive statistics were generated. Comparisons between demographic and reproductive health-related variables and IUCD awareness and interest were performed with multiple logistic regression. Analyses for IUCD interest excluded women with prior surgical sterilization.
resultsOf 277 HIV-positive women, 37% were aware of the IUCD; awareness was independently associated with greater age (adjusted odds ratio (AOR)=1.15, 95%; confidence interval (CI): 1.10-1.20) and not switching contraceptive methods in the last year (AOR=2.45, 95% CI: 1.03-5.83). Following an IUCD information session, 86% of women (n=206/240) were interested in IUCD use. IUCD interest was inversely associated with age (AOR=0.91, 95% CI: 0.86-0.97) and marginally positively associated with current menstrual bleeding pattern complaints (AOR=2.14, 95% CI: 0.98-4.68).
conclusionsDespite low levels of method awareness, HIV-positive women in this setting are frequently interested in IUCD use, indicating need for programming to expand method access.
