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
objectivesWe examined advanced practice clinicians' (APCs: nurse practitioners [NPs], certified nurse midwives [CNMs], physician assistants) interest in training to provide medication and aspiration abortion in Colorado, where abortion provision by APCs is legal.
methodsWe surveyed a stratified random sample of APCs, oversampling women's health (CNMs/women's health nurse practitioners [WHNPs]) and rural APCs. We examined prevalence and predictors of interest in abortion training using weighted χ
resultsOf 512 participants (21% response), the weighted sample is 50% NPs, 41% physician assistants, and 9% CNMs/WHNPs; 55% provide primary care. Only 12% are aware they can legally provide abortion. A minority of participants disagree that medication abortion (15%) or aspiration abortion (25%) should be in APC scope of practice. Almost one-third (29%) are interested in medication abortion training and 16% are possibly interested; interest is highest among CNMs/WHNPs (52%) (p < .01). Interest in aspiration abortion training is 15% with another 11% who are possibly interested; interest is highest among CNMs/WHNPs (34%) (p < .01). There are no significant differences in abortion training interest by rural practice location or by receipt of abortion education in graduate school. Participants not interested in medication and aspiration abortion training cited abortion being outside their specialty practice scope (44% and 38%, respectively) and religious or personal objections (42% and 34%). Among clinicians interested in medication abortion training, 33% believe their clinical facility is likely to allow them to provide this service, compared with 16% for aspiration abortion.
conclusionsInterest in abortion training among Colorado APCs is substantial. However, facility barriers to abortion provision must be addressed to increase abortion access with APCs.
