Role of Bridge Contraception in Postpartum Long-Acting Reversible Contraception and Sterilization Fulfillment Rates.
Article in Obstetrics and gynecology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
objectiveTo estimate the association of bridge contraception with interval long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) and sterilization fulfillment rates.
methodsThis is a secondary analysis of a retrospective single-center cohort chart review study examining 1,851 postpartum women who requested LARC or sterilization after discharge. Bridge contraception was requested by 597 of these women. Primary outcomes included LARC or sterilization fulfillment, time to fulfillment, postpartum visit attendance, and pregnancy within 365 days of delivery.
resultsThe rate of LARC or sterilization fulfillment within 90 days of delivery was 147 of 597 (24.6%) women using bridge contraception and 287 of 1,254 (22.9%) women not using bridge contraception (P=.41). After adjusting for maternal age, parity, gestational age, mode of delivery, adequacy of prenatal care, race-ethnicity, and education level, the use of bridge contraception was associated with LARC or sterilization fulfillment (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.30, 95% CI 1.02-1.67). Adequacy of prenatal care and black race was associated with fulfillment. The use of bridge contraception was not associated with time to fulfillment (adjusted hazard ratio 1.17, 95% CI 0.95-1.44) or postpartum visit attendance (adjusted OR 0.97, 95% CI 0.77-1.23). The use of bridge contraception was not associated with increased pregnancy within 365 days of delivery (OR 1.00, 95% CI 0.95-1.05; adjusted OR 0.96, 95% CI 0.73-1.26).
conclusionBridge contraception is associated with increased LARC and sterilization fulfillment after postpartum discharge. Long-acting reversible contraception or sterilization fulfillment after discharge occurred in less than one in four women. Strategies to improve provision of LARC or sterilization before hospital discharge are necessary.
