The Affordable Care Act contraception mandate & unintended pregnancy in women of reproductive age: An analysis of the National Survey of Family Growth, 2008-2010 v. 2013-2015.
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
OBJECTIVE(S): The Affordable Care Act contraception mandate could reduce unintended pregnancies by increasing access and affordability of contraceptive resources, e.g., long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs). We assessed: (1) whether unintended pregnancies decreased post-mandate, and (2) whether this decrease differed by demographic characteristics. STUDY
designWe used data from the National Survey of Family Growth (unweighted n = 7409) in logistic regression analyses to compare odds of unintended pregnancy pre-mandate (2008-2010) vs post-mandate (2013-2015), overall and stratified by demographic characteristics.
resultsParalleling an increase in long-acting reversible contraceptive use (p < 0.01), post-mandate, the odds of experiencing unintended pregnancy in the prior year decreased 15% overall (OR: 0.85, 95% CI: 0.62, 1.17), with the greatest reduction observed among women with government-sponsored insurance (OR: 0.63, 95% CI: 0.41, 0.97).
conclusionsUnintended pregnancy decreased following the contraception mandate, although possibly due to chance. The short study period relative to the mandate could under-estimate the mandate's effect.
