Article in Iranian journal of nursing and midwifery research, 2011. 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
backgroundIrregular population growth is considered as a serious threat to the international community and is also a major obstacle for nations' social and economic development. Thus, one of the ways to have a healthy community is to control the population and provide safe and effective contraceptive methods. Hormonal contraceptives are the most effective method of birth spacing. The present study aimed to determine and compare satisfaction from hormonal contraceptives including depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA), Cyclofem and LD in women referred to selected health care centers of Isfahan in 2010.
methodsThis was a descriptive-comparative study with cross-sectional data collection method from 26 April 2010 to 28 October 2010. Simple non-probability sampling was used to select 150 individuals (divided into three groups of 50) among the females who referred to 8 selected health care centers in Isfahan to receive DMPA, Cyclofem, or LD for the first time, and/or those who had used contraceptives for three months. To assess satisfaction rate and its related factors, the standard ORTHO Birth Control Satisfaction Assessment Tool (BC-SAT) was completed three months after medicine consumption through interviewing. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics (Fisher's exact, chi-square, ANOVA, and LSD tests).
resultsThere were no significant differences in terms of mean score of satisfaction between the three groups. Cyclofem (192.2) and DMPA (188.1) gained the highest and lowest mean satisfaction scores, respectively. Although the mean satisfaction score in areas of ease of use/appropriateness, interference in menstruation pattern, acceptance and continuation of the method had significant differences in three groups, no statistically significant difference was observed in lifestyle, confidence to the method, side effects, concerns about future pregnancies and total satisfaction.
conclusionsGenerally, there was no difference in satisfaction from the three studied hormonal contraceptives.
