Understanding the extent of contraceptive non-use among women at risk of unintended pregnancy, National Survey of Family Growth 2011-2017.
Article in Contraception: X, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
objectiveTo describe characteristics of U.S. contraceptive non-users to inform tailored contraceptive access initiatives. STUDY
designWe used National Survey of Family Growth data from 2011 to 2017 to identify characteristics of contraceptive non-users compared to other women ages 15-44 at risk for unintended pregnancy. We also examined reasons for not using contraception by when non-users expected their next birth. We calculated unadjusted and adjusted prevalence ratios using two definitions of contraceptive non-use: (1) contraceptive non-use during the interview month, and (2) a more refined definition based on contraception use during the most recent month of sexual intercourse and expectation of timing of next birth. We considered p-values < 0.05 statistically significant.
resultsApproximately 20% (
conclusionOur more refined definition of non-users could be used in future studies examining the causes of unintended pregnancy and to inform programmatic interventions to reduce unintended pregnancy. IMPLICATIONS: Describing contraceptive non-users and reasons for contraceptive non-use could help us better understand reasons for unintended pregnancy and inform tailored contraceptive access initiatives.
