Acceptance of Contraceptive Methods Among Postpartum Women in a Tertiary Care Center.
Article in Journal of obstetrics and gynaecology of India, 2017. 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
backgroundIn India, a large proportion of women with an unmet need for contraception are within their first year after childbirth. Therefore, concentrating efforts to educate postpartum women on the importance of attending contraceptive clinics could have a proportionally bigger impact on increasing postpartum contraception usage.
methodsHundred and seventy-eight (178) women were followed up to determine the proportion of postpartum women who attended the family planning clinics for contraceptive counseling. The reason for non-attendance, choice and effectiveness of contraceptive method selected was determined.
resultsOut of 178 postpartum women who were followed up, only 12 (6.8 %) attended the contraceptive clinic. IUD, POPs and Inj-DMPA are the preferred contraceptive methods selected by postpartum women. Hundred percent of the postpartum women who attended contraceptive selected a contraceptive method as compared to only 44 % of the postpartum women who did not attend a contraceptive clinic. Only 29.2 % of these postpartum women selected highly effective contraceptive methods as compared to 83.3 % by the postpartum women who attended family planning clinics. The common reasons cited for not attending contraceptive clinic was found to be time constraint (43.9 %) followed by 'stay far away' (39 %), followed by 'already have information' (9.7 %).
conclusionsFamily planning service that is scheduled to be delivered at the 6-week postpartum is rarely attended. The common reason cited by postpartum women for poor attendance in these family planning clinics was time constraint.
