Measuring contraceptive self-efficacy in sub-Saharan Africa: development and validation of the CSESSA scale in Kenya and Nigeria.
Article in Contraception: X, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 16 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.

Abstract
objectivesContraceptive self-efficacy, a women's belief about her own ability to complete the actions necessary for successful family planning, is a well-documented determinant of contraceptive use. However, there is currently no validated measure appropriate for low-resource settings. We developed and tested a new scale to measure Contraceptive Self-Efficacy among women in sub-Saharan Africa (CSESSA) using samples in Kenya and Nigeria. STUDY
designThe CSESSA scale was administered to women in Kenya (
resultsItem reduction resulted in 11 items in Kenya (
conclusionsThe CSESSA scale is a reliable and valid measure in two countries. Variation of the third subscale by site indicates that certain scale items may be more relevant in areas of low versus high contraceptive prevalence. Further research should be done to validate this subscale in other contexts. IMPLICATIONS: This study contributes a reliable, valid measure of contraceptive self-efficacy in two African countries. The CSESSA scale and subscales can be administered in research (for example for evaluation of interventions to increase contraceptive uptake) or in a clinical setting to inform and improve contraceptive counseling.
