Postpartum Intrauterine Device Refusal in Delhi: Reasons Analyzed.
Article in Journal of obstetrics and gynaecology of India, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
aimTo assess knowledge and attitude of women toward postpartum intrauterine contraceptive device (PPIUCD) and analyze reasons of refusal. SETTING AND
designHospital-based cross-sectional study for 1 year. MATERIALS AND
methods550 women were enrolled in the study. Sociodemographic characteristics, knowledge, and attitude toward contraception especially PPIUCD were noted, and the reasons for refusal of PPIUCD were analyzed. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: SPSS version 17.0 is used. Continuous variables were reported using mean, and categorical variables were reported using percentages. OBSERVATIONS: PPIUCD insertion rate was 9.1 %. 78.6 % of women in the study belonged to the age group of 20-30 years, with 79.2 % having education of Class X and above. The overall contraceptive knowledge was 94.4 %. Although 48.4 % women were aware of Cu T as a method of contraception, only 21.9 % of 48.4 %, however, were aware of PPIUCD. None of the women had ever used it before. The commonest prevalent myths regarding Cu T were fear of malignancy (38 %) and fear of menorrhagia (36.4 %). The husband and mother-in-law played important roles in decision regarding PPIUCD insertion and refused the same in 59 % of cases.
conclusionThe study shows that awareness of PPIUCD is low in this region despite good education, leading to high refusal rates. The commonest reason is lack of appropriate counseling, and not only the woman but the husband and mother-in-law also must be provided the knowledge of it as they play important roles in our society.
