Evidence-Based Guidance for Self-Administration of Injectable Contraception.
Article in Journal of midwifery & women's health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The requirement of in-person visits every 3 months for a health care provider to administer intramuscular depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA-IM) is a significant barrier to its use, particularly in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Time and travel costs as well as scheduling conflicts also negatively impact the receipt of subsequent contraceptive injections, which can result in unintended pregnancies. Subcutaneous depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA-SC) can be self-administered by individuals at home, expanding contraceptive access, convenience, and reproductive autonomy. With 30% less progestin, DMPA-SC improves upon the DMPA-IM formulation while retaining efficacy. As part of comprehensive contraceptive counseling, health care providers should consider offering DMPA-SC to eligible individuals interested in self-administration. Using a case study approach, evidence-based recommendations are reviewed for the off-label use of self-administered DMPA-SC in the United States.
