[PMTCT in Benin: Is the pregnant women's consent free and informed?]
Article in Ethique & sante, 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
introductionIn international and national HIV/AIDS policies, free and informed consent is recognized as one of the major components of testing programs. For pregnant women, free and informed consent means that they should get information on prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT), understand them and make an independent choice after weighing the risks and advantages. However, no PMTCT program looked into the issue of consent. The objective of this paper is to explore the free and informed nature of pregnant women's consent with regard to testing and their rationale for accepting to be tested.
methodsWe used data collected within the framework of the analysis of the creation of the PMTCT program in Benin. This analysis is based on multiple case studies that covered six maternity homes selected from 56 operational sites. For the specific analysis of consent, we used both survey data and qualitative research data.
findingsApart from three cases of secret testing, the free nature of the consent to the test is respected on the PMTCT sites. Twenty-nine cases of refusal were recorded. The reasons put forth by most pregnant women include the fear of a positive test and its consequences on family life in 55.2% of cases and the expectation of their husbands' agreement or disagreement in 27.6% of cases. On the whole, the consent was free on all the sites but its informed nature is less respected.
