1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionThe purpose of this study was to investigate the association of Hispanic acculturation in the U.S. with family planning behaviors and attitudes.

methodsSurveys of 225 Hispanic women were collected that used acculturation measures of number of years lived in the U.S. and the Short Acculturation Scale for Hispanics (SASH), along with questions about family planning behaviors, including birth control use, sterilization, and abortion.

resultsSASH-Language statistically differed (p = 0.03) where those with 'yes birth control' had significantly lower English acculturation (M = 6.10, SD = 1.77) than those with 'no birth control' (M = 7.00, SD = 3.16). Greater U.S. acculturation on SASH-Ethnic Social Relations was associated positively with the attitude that finances are important when considering to have children (r = 0.18, p < 0.05). Number of years lived in the U.S. was associated positively with the attitude that it is a woman's personal choice to have an elective termination of pregnancy (r = 0.19, p < 0.01).

conclusionsHealthcare providers should consider patient acculturation level when discussing family planning topics. It is possible that a more detailed explanation concerning the reasons for family planning is necessary when discussing family planning topics with Hispanic patients who exhibit higher levels of English language acculturation.
