Male contraception is coming: Who do men want to prescribe their birth control?
Article in Contraception, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo assess men's preferences for healthcare provider from whom they would obtain hormonal male contraceptive (HMC) methods. STUDY
designWe asked participants from 3 clinical trials of investigational HMC methods-an oral pill (11β-Methyl-19-nortestosterone-17β-dodecylcarbonate, 11β-MNTDC), intramuscular or subcutaneous injection (Dimethandrolone undecanoate), and transdermal gel (Nestorone and testosterone)-to rank their top 3 preferred HMC providers from a list including: men's health doctor (urologist/andrologist), hormonal doctor (endocrinologist), reproductive health doctor (OB/GYN), family planning clinician (community health worker, midwife, nurse practitioner), regular doctor (family medicine/internal medicine), and community pharmacist. We examined preferences based on their rankings and conducted bivariate analyses. Collapsing the various specialists (men's health doctor, hormonal doctor, reproductive health doctor, and family planning clinician) into a single provider type, we examined participant demographics against provider preference (regular doctor, pharmacist, or specialist).
resultsParticipants across the 3 trials (n = 124) ranked their regular doctor (44%) and community pharmacist (18%) as their most preferred HMC provider; these preferences did not differ significantly by trial and drug formulation. Specialists in family planning (13%), men's health (12%), reproductive health (10%), and hormones (4%) were least frequently ranked as their preferred provider. Older and higher educated participants more often preferred specialists over regular doctors and pharmacists (p = 0.02 and p = 0.01).
conclusionsDespite receiving contraceptive steroid hormones and care from endocrinologists and family planning specialists in a clinical trial, participants would prefer to obtain contraception from their regular doctor. IMPLICATIONS: As most men expect to obtain hormonal male contraceptives from their regular doctor when commercially available, primary care physicians should become familiar with HMCs and be prepared to provide counseling and options accordingly.
