Article in American journal of public health, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
objectivesTo describe trends in sexual and reproductive health behaviors and service utilization among young women in the United States.
methodsWe analyzed data from 8835 female respondents aged 18 to 25 years from 4 cycles of the National Survey of Family Growth, a nationally representative cross-sectional survey, from 2002 to 2015. We used bivariate and multivariable logistic regression to compare rates of self-reported sexual activity, sexually transmitted infection-related care, and contraception use over time and by race/ethnicity.
resultsSexually transmitted infection-related care and human papilloma virus vaccination increased from 2002 to 2013-2015, whereas sexual activity and contraception use remained stable. Compared with White women, racial/ethnic minority women were less likely to report effective contraception use, and Black women were less likely to report human papilloma virus vaccination; these differences did not change over time.
conclusionsSexual and reproductive health service utilization increased from 2002 to 2015 among young women, whereas sexual activity remained stable. Overall, rates of recommended care were low, and racial and ethnic disparities persisted. Public Health Implications. Young women could benefit from clinical interventions and health policies to increase recommended care and reduce disparities.
