Male-female concordance in reported involvement of women in contraceptive decision-making and its association with modern contraceptive use among couples in rural Maharashtra, India.
Article in Reproductive health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03514914 (Enhancing Male Participation in Interventions to Prevent Unintended Pregnancy), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
objectiveWomen's involvement in contraceptive decision-making increases contraceptive use and reduces unmet need, but study of this has been limited to women's self-reports. Less research is available examining couple concordance and women's involvement in contraceptive decision-making as reported by both men and women. STUDY
designWe carried out a cross-sectional study using data from rural India (N = 961 young married couples). Using multivariable regression we examined the association between concordance or discordance in spousal reports of wife's involvement in contraceptive decision-making and modern contraceptive use, adjusting for demographics, intimate partner violence, and contraceptive use discussion.
resultsMore than one third (38.3%) of women reported current modern contraceptive use. Report of women's involvement in contraceptive decision-making showed 70.3% of couples agreed that women were involved, jointly or alone (categorized as Concordant 1), 4.2% agreed women were not involved (categorized at Concordant 2), 13.2% had women report involvement but men report women were uninvolved (categorized as Discordant 1), and 12.2% had women report uninvolvement but men report that women were involved (categorized as Discordant 2). Discordant 2 couples had lower odds of modern contraceptive use relative to Concordant 1 couples (adjusted RR = 0.61, 95% CI 0.45-0.83). No other significant differences between Concordant 1 couples and other categories were observed.
conclusionOne in four couples indicated discordance on women's involvement in contraceptive decision making, with Discordant 2 category having lower odds of contraceptive use. Couples' concordance in women's involvement in contraceptive decision-making offers a target for family planning research and interventions to better meet their needs.
