Discontinuation rates of different contraceptive methods in Thai women up to 1-year after method initiation.
Article in Scientific reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
We assessed the discontinuation rate and the reason for discontinuation of common contraceptives used by reproductive-aged Thai women. We recruited 1880 women aged 18-45 years from the Family Planning Clinic of the Chulalongkorn Hospital in Bangkok. The participants were followed at three, six and twelve months. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to determine personal risks of discontinuing contraceptives. The incidence rate for discontinuation of combined oral contraceptive pills (COCs), depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA), copper intrauterine device (IUD), and contraceptive implant(s) were 21.3, 9.2, 4.4, and 2.3/100 person-years, respectively. Most of the women who discontinued (185/222) discontinued contraceptives due to side effects. Compared to contraceptive implant users, the adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) [95% confidence intervals (CIs)] of discontinuing COCs, DMPA, and the copper IUD were 9.6 (4.3-21.8), 4.2 (1.8-10.0), and 2.2 (0.8-5.9), respectively. Lower income, higher parity, history of miscarriage, and history of abortion were independent predictors of contraceptive discontinuation in a multivariable model.
