1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundWomen with disabilities experience higher rates of intimate partner violence (IPV) than the general population. Reproductive coercion, a type of intimate partner violence, is associated with an increased risk of unintended pregnancy (UIP), yet little is known about this relationship among women with disabilities.

objectiveThis qualitative descriptive study explored perspectives of women with disabilities who had experienced an UIP as a result of reproductive coercion.

methodIn-depth, semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted with nine women living with diverse disabilities across the United States as part of a larger study examining facilitators and barriers to UIP among women with disabilities.

resultsAnalysis revealed three broad themes related to the ways in which physical violence and reproductive coercion elevated women's risk of UIP. They included (1) inadequate health care provider or system response, (2) disability-related risks for IPV, and (3) resource needs to optimize safety.

conclusionsThis is the first in-depth exploration of ways in which reproductive coercion may lead to an increased risk of UIP among women with disabilities. Health care providers must screen for IPV and reproductive coercion and provide the necessary supports and resources for women with disabilities experiencing unintended pregnancy as a result of violence.
