Contraception methods used among women with HIV starting antiretroviral therapy in a large United States clinical trial, 2009-2011.

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
OBJECTIVE(S): We describe contraception and dual method use among women with HIV initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART) in a U.S. clinical trial and examine associated factors. STUDY
designWe analyzed data from ART-naïve women aged 45 years and under initiating one of 3 regimens as part of A5257 (May 2009-June 2011) which required that women at risk for pregnancy use contraception. We classified self-reported methods as more effective (Tier 1 [intrauterine device, hysterectomy, permanent contraception] and Tier 2 [hormonal rings, patches, injections, pills]) versus less effective (Tier 3 [condoms alone] and Tier 4 [withdrawal, none]). We used logistic regression models to assess associations with use of (a) more effective, and (b) dual methods (condoms with a more effective method).
resultsOf 285 women, majority were Black (59%), had annual income <$20,000 (54%), and had government insurance (68%). The most common contraceptive methods reported at baseline were permanent contraception (37%), male condoms alone (31%), and injectable progestin (8%); 41% and 16% reported Tier 1 and 2 use, respectively; 36% reported dual method use. Use of more effective and dual methods did not change 48 and 96 weeks after ART initiation (p > 0.05). In multivariable analyses, baseline use of more effective and dual methods was associated with age at least 40 years versus 18 to 29 years (odds ratio [OR] 4.46, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.12, 9.35) and having at least one child (OR 2.31, 95%CI 1.27, 4.20).
conclusionsIn women initiating modern ART in a clinical trial, permanent contraception was common, while use of other more effective contraceptive methods was low and did not change after ART initiation. Efforts are needed to improve integration of family planning services for women within the context of HIV clinical trials. IMPLICATIONS: The findings highlight the importance of improving integration of HIV and family planning services, including in the context of clinical trials.
