Changing Scenario in Indian Contraceptive Methods: A Glimpse Through a Tertiary Hospital Statistics.
Article in Journal of obstetrics and gynaecology of India, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThe patient scenario of a tertiary hospital changes with the implementation of various national programmes in any country. These programmes are conceived after understanding the felt need of the society. Though IUCD was available as an interval method of contraception in the past also and was meant to be effective for 10 years, the prerequisite to come again to the medical facility after 6 weeks of childbirth for insertion resulted in almost all patients to dropout and only the highly motivated would come on their own. Post-partum insertion of IUCD at the time of childbirth or within 48 h has addressed the need of contraception in the post-partum period as well as omitted the need for second visit to a health set-up. Earlier, after achieving the desired family goal of children, tubectomy was the preferred choice, irrespective of age of children but PPIUCD seems to have come up as a long-term reversible method of contraception.
objectiveThe present study was conceived to study the shift of method of long-term contraception from tubal sterilization and vasectomy to PPIUCD over a period of 8 years from 2010 to 2017.
methodThis study was a retrospective analytical study conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Safdarjung Hospital between the years 2010 and 2017. The number of IUCDs inserted post-placental (i.e. within 10 min of delivery of placenta) and within 48 h (of vaginal childbirth) and intra-caesarean (intrauterine insertion while performing caesarean) were recorded and analysed. Also, sterilizations (tubectomy) and interval IUCD insertions done during this time period were compared.
resultsWith the introduction of PPIUCD in national family programme, more women are inclining towards long-term spacing method and not resorting to sterilizations. PPIUCD is preferred over interval IUCD.
conclusionsPPIUCD is there to stay as a method of long-term contraception.
