Looking for a Silver Lining to the Dark Cloud: A Google Trends Analysis of Contraceptive Interest in the United States Post Roe vs. Wade Verdict.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Background In the wake of the recent Roe vs. Wade judgment, we performed a Google Trends analysis to identify the impact of this decision on the interests regarding contraceptive choices in the United States. Methods A Google Trends search between April 6 and July 5, 2022, with the United States as the area of interest, was performed using the five most popular contraception choices. In addition, a second trend search was performed using oral and injectable hormonal birth control measures. Results Trends showed a spike in interest regarding various contraceptive methods immediately following the verdict. The highest increase in interest was noted for "vasectomy," followed by "tubal ligation." With respect to oral and injectable birth control measures, "morning after pill" showed a marked spike in interest. Conclusion This verdict has triggered increased interest in contraceptive practices, which can be translated into better reproductive health with proper public health initiatives.
