Health Care Barriers to Provision of Long-Acting Reversible Contraception in Wisconsin.
Article in WMJ : official publication of the State Medical Society of Wisconsin, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
introductionLong-acting reversible contraceptives (LARC), specifically implants and intrauterine devices (IUD), are highly effective, low maintenance forms of birth control. Practice guidelines from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, American Academy of Family Physicians, and American Academy of Pediatrics recommend that LARC be considered first-line birth control for most women; however, uptake remains low. In this study, we sought to understand practices and barriers to provision of LARC in routine and immediate postpartum settings as they differ between specialties.
methodsWe surveyed 3,000 Wisconsin physicians and advanced-practice providers in obstetrics-gynecology/women's health (Ob-gyn), family medicine, pediatrics, and midwifery to assess practices and barriers (56.5% response rate). This analysis is comprised of contraceptive care providers (n=992); statistical significance was tested using chi-square and 2-sample proportions tests.
resultsMore providers working Ob-gyn (94.3%) and midwifery (78.7%) were skilled providers of LARC methods than those in family medicine (42.5%) and pediatrics (6.6%) (
conclusionsGaps in routine and immediate postpartum LARC practice were strongly related to specialty, and providers' experience heightened barriers to immediate postpartum compared to routine insertion. Skills training targeting family medicine and pediatric providers would enable broader access to LARC. Organizational barriers to immediate postpartum LARC provision impact many providers.
