Reproductive autonomy and feelings of control over pregnancy among emerging adult clients in a Utah (USA) contraceptive initiative study.
Article in Sexual & reproductive healthcare : official journal of the Swedish Association of Midwives, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02734199 (Highly Effective Reversible Contraceptive Initiative-Salt Lake), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveResearch has called for more exploration into how reproductive autonomy (which includes agency over pregnancy decisions) is related to structural, relational, and individual elements. Thus, we use surveys to investigate how one potential indicator of reproductive autonomy-feelings of control over pregnancy-may relate to structural, relational, and individual factors in emerging adults' (age 18-24) lives.
methodsUsing survey data from 2594 emerging adult women participating in a contraceptive initiative in Utah (USA), we analyzed level of agreement with the statement: "I feel that I have control over whether or not I get pregnant," exploring relationships between sociodemographic characteristics and agreement with the statement. We used chi-square tests and multinomial logistic regression to investigate relationships between individual, relational, and structural factors and feelings of control.
resultsMost participants (86%) agreed with the statement (n = 2231), while the remainder were neutral or disagreed. Participants reporting poverty-level incomes (RRR: 1.80; 95 %CI 1.25-2.59) and previous unwanted pregnancies (RRR: 2.74; 95 %CI: 1.56-4.81) were more likely to describe "neutral" feelings of control.
conclusionFindings indicate a relationship between feelings of control over pregnancy and several factors, and these results may help identify reproductive autonomy access gaps among emerging adults. More work should investigate these relationships as well as the meaning of "neutral" responses when it comes to assessments of control over pregnancy.
