Beyond safety and efficacy: sexuality-related priorities and their associations with contraceptive method selection.

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
objectivesSexuality-related preferences have been understudied in contraceptive selection and uptake. Investigators endeavored to assess contraceptive preferences among patients selecting new methods at family planning clinics and to evaluate the degree to which two sexuality-related preferences are (a) valued and (b) associated with method selection. STUDY
designData were derived from the HER Salt Lake Contraceptive Initiative, a longitudinal cohort nested in a quasi-experimental, observational study enrolling 18-45-year-old patients at four family planning health centers in Salt Lake County. At the time of selecting the new method of their choice, participants reported the importance of nine factors in contraceptive method selection, including two sexuality-related preferences: a method's lack of impact on libido and its lack of sexual interruption. Analyses involved multinomial logistic regression with method selected as the outcome, sexuality-related factors as the main explanatory variables, and a range of controls and covariates.

conclusionsMany contraceptive seekers rank sexual-related priorities alongside safety and efficacy as very important, but a range of methods align with people's sexual priorities. IMPLICATIONS: Since patients endorse the importance of sexual-related contraceptive factors (impact on libido, impact on sexual interruption) alongside safety and efficacy, contraceptive research, counseling and care should attend to people's sexuality.
