Patient perceptions of immediate postpartum long-acting reversible contraception: A qualitative study.
Article in Contraception, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
objectivesThe objective of this study was to explore perceptions and experiences of immediate postpartum long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) counseling and decision-making, with a focus on reproductive autonomy. We aimed to assess the potential for reproductive coercion. STUDY
designThis was a qualitative study using semi-structured interviews with Spanish and English speaking women who received an intrauterine device or contraceptive subdermal implant immediately postpartum. They were recruited before discharge from two hospitals in Baltimore, MD. We analyzed interviews using directed content analysis.
resultsWe interviewed a diverse group of 17 women. Participants praised the convenience of LARC and the ease of immediate postpartum placement. Some women reported feeling pushed by providers during counseling and were critical of their experiences. Women expressed a desire for comprehensive, objective information early and often during antepartum contraceptive counseling, and some valued counseling from multiple providers. They wanted autonomy in their contraceptive decision-making and described making internally motivated decisions based on their life goals and individual priorities.
conclusionsSome women felt pressured to choose immediate postpartum LARC, while others expressed enthusiasm for immediate postpartum LARC. Our data suggest that providers should start contraceptive counseling early in prenatal care and readdress it at multiple visits. Patients may benefit from speaking with multiple providers. IMPLICATIONS: Our study supports immediate postpartum LARC as a favorable contraceptive option for some women when discussed during prenatal care. Providers should take care to avoid coercion during counseling and focus on delivering comprehensive, objective information about all contraceptive methods, including side effects and removal options.
