Trends and Factors Associated with Oral Contraceptive Use among Korean Women.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Although oral contraceptives (OC) are widely used, few national-level epidemiologic studies have evaluated the prevalence of OC use and factors related to their use in Korea. We performed a population-based cross-sectional study on OC use by premenopausal women aged 20-59 years residing in Korea. We used secondary data from the 2010-2019 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey to examine trends in the annual prevalence of OC use between 2010 and 2019, and factors influencing OC use. Based on data from 14,386 premenopausal women, the average annual prevalence of OC use was 8.2-10.7% between 2010 and 2014; it increased to 12.6-14.4% during 2015-2019. The prevalence of OC use was significantly higher in women with higher (≥5) than lower gravidity (<5). In addition, among sociodemographic factors, education level, household income, cigarette smoking, and alcohol drinking were significantly associated with OC use in Korean women. As OC use is affected by sociodemographic factors, a contraceptive plan that considers sociodemographic factors is needed to establish an effective family planning policy.
