Article in Journal of obstetrics and gynaecology of India, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
background of the studyIn India, although a number of contraceptive choices are available, the usage of contraceptive methods among postpartum women is rather low. The current study intended to determine the impact of "structured contraception counseling" on women's decision making on selection of contraceptive methods and the reasons behind the selection of a contraceptive method.
methodsOne-hundred-and-seventeen postpartum women in the age group of 18-35 years, requesting contraception, were enrolled in the study. "Structured contraception counseling" was provided using a standardized protocol with balanced and comprehensive education material on the available hormonal and nonhormonal contraceptive methods. Questionnaires with information on the women's pre- and post-counseling contraceptive choice, her perceptions, and the reasons behind her postcounseling decision were filled by the participating women.
resultsMaximum women enrolled for the study were in the age group of 21-25 years. In pre-counseling, 36 % postpartum women selected a contraceptive method, 23.1 % a nonhormonal method, and 12.8 % a hormonal method. After "structured contraception counseling," 92.25 % of women chose a contraceptive method. There were significant differences between the women's choices of contraceptive methods in the pre- and post-counseling sessions, respectively [progesterone-only pills (POP): 5.1 vs. 38.46 %, (
conclusion"Structured contraception counseling" using standardized protocol resulted in significant improvements in the selection of contraceptive methods by postpartum women.
