Can youth get the contraception they want? Results of a pilot study in the province of Quebec.
Article in Paediatrics & child health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectivesCanadian contraceptive providers report many barriers to access to contraception, and perceive youth as particularly vulnerable to these barriers. This study explores Quebec youth's experience of obtaining contraception.
methodsA convenience sample of Quebec youth (aged 14 to 21 years) participated in an online anonymous survey of their experiences obtaining contraception. Data were collected between June 1, 2016 and December 31, 2016.
resultsOne hundred and five youth were eligible to participate. Of these, 95 had used at least one form of contraception. Twelve (13%) reported not being able to obtain their preferred method of contraception, with cost being the most common barrier (N=10). Eleven participants (12%) stopped using their preferred contraceptive method: cost was a factor in four cases, and difficulty with access to the clinic/prescription in seven. Youth who required confidential access experienced more difficulty obtaining contraception (P<0.01).
conclusionDespite benefitting from universal pharmacare and a network of youth sexual and reproductive health clinics, Quebec youth still experience barriers to obtaining and continuing their preferred contraceptive. Youth who desire confidential care are more likely to experience difficulty obtaining contraception.
